Works of charity …. without love …. in compulsion ….
B.D. 0985 from June 28th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Caring for the general welfare should be left to those who have been assigned too narrow a sphere of activity for the duration of their earthly life. The lord has wisely given everyone the task they are able to fulfil. And everyone has the opportunity to work for the greater good. One person has more, another less opportunity to take the burdens of his neighbour on his shoulders …. and the more he endeavours to do so, the greater blessing he can expect for himself and the more the power of love will be strengthened in him and the will to love will be aroused. Only by serving will a person be able to reach the heights …. distribute in love to his neighbour what is at his own disposal and stand up for the need of man so that it may be alleviated and remedied …. but always driven by love for fellow human beings …. And this will result in rich blessings and man himself will never need to live in want if he always gives of what he has …. He should also never anxiously consider whether the gifts could diminish his possessions …. whoever gives much will receive far more, for the lord likewise shares His gifts undiminished from the one who endeavours to alleviate the need of his fellow human being out of love for Him. For “whatever you do to the least of My brothers, you have done to Me.” And now consider how much nobler a person acts who shares his possessions with the poor than someone who lives in well-organized circumstances but demands all the gifts he wants to distribute from the general public. Well-organized charity is like a weak oil lamp …. it does not fulfil its purpose …. It shines only insignificantly and spreads no light …. And so such works of neighbourly love, which however lack love, will have no redeeming effect …. Gifts are indeed offered to people, but the heart does not speak …. The giver does not sacrifice, but is forced to give his tribute, and so the power of love is not conveyed to the receiver. As it were, what is given to the other is taken from the one. An action is mechanized and made into a thoughtless fulfilment of duty, which should be born in the love of the heart and awaken love …. And these works are dead works before God …. He cannot look at what is born under compulsion and can never be an active labour of love. It is the most marvellous thing in life to share one’s goods with the one who is likewise a creature of God …. to share every gift that the father in heaven has sent to man in His love …. to share of his own free will because his heart drives him to do so. But what is made a human being’s task on earth is worthless. The human being certainly fulfils this task, but only because he has to, not of his own accord, and such works of neighbourly love cannot be valued by the heavenly father, Who only looks at the heart and the degree of love in which the gifts are offered ….
Amen

Words of eternal life ….
B.D. 0986 from June 29th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Words of eternal life come to you with every reception. The lord gives His word always and at all times, and this word is received by those who desire it and live in love. When the lord makes Himself known, His nearness is proven, for he who hears the word must be in Him through love. So he may also believe without doubt and enjoy the grace of the lord. The lord promises eternal life to those who receive His word. It is His will that everyone should make use of the divine strength that flows from His word, and He therefore imparts His word to people on earth because they need this strength, but without it they have a hard time on earth. But the word is comfort and strength, it is spiritual nourishment, it is the bread of heaven, which is refreshment for the traveller on his way to his eternal home. If the divine word comes to you, receive it as the most precious gift, receive it with a grateful heart, rejoice and exult that the lord has mercy on you and visibly shows you His love, and desire nothing more than this, His most holy word …. You stand in immeasurable grace if you hear the voice of the lord and are allowed to draw from the fountain of eternal life. You receive heaven’s blessing, you are raptured from the world, you approach the realms of heavenly bliss, you may only stretch out your hand and receive the most delicious gifts, and the lord Himself offers them to you, and the living water flows from the rock, which is strong unshakeable faith …. And now grasp it: He who has substantiated His word with His power does so in infinite love for you …. He wants to possess you and comes to you Himself in the word …. He descends to earth to gather His sheep around Himself, and His call is loving and concerned for every life. Those who hear this call and follow it willingly will be looked after carefully and His love knows no bounds …. The word that reaches people is His loving call to all His sheep, the word is life, eternity, love and power …. The word awakens and revitalizes, and it makes infinitely happy the person who listens to this word, who desires to receive it and takes it into his heart …. And in the word is the lord Himself …. “I am the way, the truth and the life ….” Where therefore the lord speaks, there you receive purest truth, you receive from the hand of the creator everything that leads you towards eternal life, and if you now believe without doubting, the path is free of every obstacle …. But every doubt weakens the will, yet love for the divine saviour will lift you up again if you want to despair …. And therefore remain in love, so that the lord may be close to you and honour you with His word ….
Amen

Truth ….
B.D. 0987 from June 30th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The spirit guides you into truth, and all thoughts are therefore, if you desire truth, proclamations of the spirit awakened to life in you. If you now appropriate what you have heard from the spirit, i.e. make it your spiritual property, you are in the midst of truth and in the midst of realization. So first try to listen to the voice within you, i.e. give free rein to your thoughts and grasp what your heart is willing to accept, for the lord will place the right feeling of what is right in your heart and you cannot therefore feel anything else in your heart but the pure truth. Only where your intellectual thinking drowns out the voice of the heart are you in danger of misjudging what is right and falling prey to the spirit of falsehood. Let your feelings guide you and you will not be on the wrong track if your desire for the truth fills you. If you always observe this precondition, then you will be protected from all error, for the eternal deity, Who is truth in Himself, will not allow you to fall prey to error if you desire to stand in the truth. His fatherly love wants to impart the truth to the child on earth, and His power prevents everything impure and untruthful from entering the heart of the seeker of truth. And the source, the source of truth, is always and forever to be sought only from Him. Whoever now entrusts himself to the eternal deity Himself is in the circuit of His love and is nourished with His strength. A free relationship with Him, born out of love and the desire for his creator, also provides free access to all spiritual strength, and the spirit in the human being can make contact with the divine original spirit and impart everything that is visible to him as spirit to the human being; however, it will not reveal anything to the human being which does not correspond to the truth, for an awakened spirit is truth in itself, and only the unawakened spirit does not know the light which is called truth. But the human being whose spirit is still unawakened does not concern himself with spiritual things but still clings to the earthly world, or he tries to fathom spiritual things scientifically, thus based on purely material thinking, thus does not desire the truth for the sake of truth but for the sake of honour, fame and earthly goods. And since God and all spiritual things have nothing in common with matter, truth can never again come from God as the eternal truth Himself to those who burrow in matter. And again you recognize the boundaries which the lord has drawn, that He and the truth are recognized by anyone who, detached from the world, only turns to the spiritual, that he will always and forever be the bearer of truth and can therefore unconditionally believe the word which is imparted to those who seek the lord in all childlikeness and confidence …. that the father in heaven is their constant spiritual guide and that He only gives pure truth to the earthly child through the spirit of God, which it brought to awaken within itself through active love and desire for truth ….
Amen

"Not as the world gives you …."
B.D. 0988 from June 30th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
He who seeks Me and strives to fulfil My will serves Me. And I want to mould his heart and completely turn his mind towards Me. The burdens of earth should only contribute towards increasing the longing for Me; the human being should recognize in Me the saviour from all adversity and his deepest plea should be for union with Me. The more the earthly child worships, the more it longs for Me, and when it almost despairs, I stand before it most vividly. And his longing is satisfied and My love hands out to him what makes him unspeakably happy. Not as the world gives you do I consider you …. For the world rewards you with earthly treasures, but I have the joys of heaven in store for you, and these joys are by no means fleeting but eternal and inexhaustible heavenly delights. Earthly happiness is conditioned by the joy of possession, so man will always strive to possess what seems desirable to him. Heavenly joys, however, are founded equally in giving and receiving …. For everything is guided by love, and he who loves wants to give in the same measure as he himself receives. Therefore grasp God’s goodness, His longsuffering and His mercy that He offers Himself as supreme happiness to all creatures on earth …. that everyone may only desire union with Him in order to be indescribably blissfully blessed by the eternal deity …. that He offers His love time and again to people who remain in constant defence because He does not want them to lose this supreme happiness …. and that His patience with people knows no bounds and that He tries to come closer to them in every way …. He wants all immaturity to recognize its condition and to make every effort to ascend and thus, through God’s grace, to shape itself into a giving and receiving being ….
Amen

Reference to severe suffering …. power of prayer ….
B.D. 0989 from July 1st 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The distant time will teach you that you can only escape adversity and misery with divine help and that the door to eternity has to be passed through by everyone and that, again, the right path will hardly be found without divine help. If the human being is unable to cope with the effort of climbing upwards on his own he has to turn to the eternal deity for help if he wants to reach his goal. And if you pay attention to the coming time and notice how ever heavier the burdens descend upon you …. if you feel the pressure which is bestowed upon you from outside and if you often get into situations in life where you would like to despair and are completely despondent in the face of life, then remember that you have a sure means of help …. prayer. You can still be called immeasurably rich in all misery as long as you are allowed to turn to the father in heaven in prayer …. you are not helpless and abandoned, but one is always ready for you …. “Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” And there is no need on earth so great that it cannot be remedied through prayer. And remember that you need nothing more for it than a heart turned towards the father in love and believing trust that He will not let His child call in vain. Leave all fear and doubt aside and trustingly lay all your worries at the father’s feet, He always knows what is right for you and He only waits for your call through which you acknowledge Him as father. And the burden will be lifted from you and His love will refresh and comfort you in all suffering …. Only do not forget that there is one above you Who takes an intimate interest in you and Whose love is for you children of earth …. do not forget that all suffering is only imposed on you for the purpose that you should remember the father in such things and turn to Him for help …. For through prayer you acknowledge Him as your father and thus consciously enter into a childlike relationship with the father …. And your prayer will be answered if you believe without doubting ….
Amen

Passage through all matter …. light beings …. knowledge about it ….
B.D. 0990 from July 2nd 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Everything you see on earth has travelled the path through matter and has to cover it until the spiritual has become free, that is, until it can consciously detach itself from it. This procedure takes an infinitely long time, the spiritual is imprisoned in form for thousands of years and cannot redeem itself but has to go through the course of development through God’s will, which is the only way to clarify the spiritual and to free it completely from captivity one day. The (actual) supposed self-redemption can only start when all preconditions have been fulfilled, i.e. when the spiritual substance has already reached a certain state of maturity, without which, however, it would be impossible to confront the being with the final task of self-redemption. On the one hand, it takes an incredibly long time to make the being in matter itself feel its present state of agony and thus to awaken in it the desire to become free so that the next stage of development can be offered to it …. On the other hand, however, the being has to fulfil important tasks in all stages of development in the whole of creation, and the path through all matter is again the only possibility to overcome and one day master it, because the task in the beyond as a being of light is to enliven all creation, i.e., to provide unredeemed spiritual substances with the opportunity to mature through new creations of all kinds. Therefore all matter must be dominated by the being of light, this being of light itself must have travelled the path through matter; and then again the period of time of this embodiment of the spiritual in form is to be called vanishingly small compared to eternity. Only the concept of time has to be well grasped by you men to make you fully understand the meaning of your stay on earth, because when you consider that the endless long time before is to have missed its purpose, when you consider that you as men have your self-redemption completely in your hand, when you imagine, what favours are at your disposal and how you can use them and it only requires your will to become free of all matter and to leave earth life in the state of light, then you must realize the immense responsibility which you yourselves bear in earth life, and therefore you must well consider the infinitely long course before and strive with all senses and firm will to detach yourselves from matter. You will leave earthly life after a shorter or longer time, and in a certain state of maturity you will also suddenly recognize your change through innumerable works of creation, you will be able to assess the state of maturity which each form brought you, and it will fall from your eyes like scales with which love the eternal creator has given and guided you and how little you have rewarded this love in earthly life, which truly offered you enough gifts of grace but was not really used by you. And yet you have to take the last course on earth without full knowledge of this if you are to be able to transform yourselves into the purest beings of light …. All knowledge would influence you unfavourably as long as you do not strive for the highest perfection of your own accord. In order to become perfect on earth, all you need is a deep faith and profound love for God and therefore also for your neighbour …. Then this knowledge will also be made accessible to man …. God’s grace and love will then obviously come to meet him and help him to survive the last battle on earth, for then the being has already consciously turned to Him and separated itself from matter …. Thus, the knowledge of this no longer puts him in a forced state, but of his own free will and of his own accord he found his way back to the father ….
Amen

Spiritual riches …. conscious rejection of the truth ….
B.D. 0991 from July 2nd 1939, taken from Book No. 19
being in living contact with the divine lord brings man the greatest spiritual wealth, and this direct instruction should therefore be extremely desirable to people, but they often do not recognize such an extraordinary working of the eternal deity in its full extent and are therefore little interested in it as long as they do not penetrate the divine reign and working through love within themselves. The blessing of divine teachings lies only in the perseverance of constantly receiving them. It is only through its constant willingness that the earthly child gives proof that it is imbued with the divine teaching …. He no longer asks for earthly success, but is always and constantly intent on collecting spiritual goods and completely disregards earthly advantages. Yet this obvious working of God will remain a difficult problem for people to solve, despite many attempts, where the human being is immensely occupied by earthly activity in his daily life. All attempts fail where intellectual clarification is required, whereas the evidence of divine activity of love is irrefutable and indestructible by hostile power where the human being wants to recognize it. The human being, who always wants to prove, will not shy away from making false claims in order to be able to deny only spiritual working, and yet in the end the truth will obviously come to light, for the truth will continue to exist throughout eternal times, whereas everything that does not want to recognize the truth must perish. And thus it is far more beneficial to receive the divine gifts and allow them to take effect even without the necessary understanding than to not allow the pure truth to come to the fore due to purely human weakness. For this will come to light and those who consciously reject it and do not increase their spiritual wealth will be at a great disadvantage ….
Amen

Helping to bear the suffering of others …. work of redemption ….
B.D. 0992 from July 3rd 1939, taken from Book No. 19
You participate in the lord’s work of redemption if you willingly take the suffering of your fellow human beings on your shoulders, help them carry it and, in view of Jesus’ suffering on the cross, humbly bear everything the lord sends you. Only through suffering can humanity be redeemed, for suffering must be overcome and diminished through active love, and only active love can accomplish the work of redemption. And love again would have no field of activity if suffering on earth did not demand alleviation and could not be controlled by love that has become an act. And humanity so often turns away so as not to have the suffering of its fellow human being before its eyes, thereby hardening its hearts and is so infinitely far removed from being redemptively active on earth. There is not one among men who does not need loving help, and the need of the time gives everyone more than enough opportunity to lend a helping hand and assist their neighbour in every kind of need. Whose heart is willing to help, he will also feel where his help is needed, he will recognize the other person’s plight and immediately step in; and he will receive support from the spiritual side, which is also responsible for the care of earthly beings. For the work of these is also only constantly aimed at saving erring souls in the beyond as well as on earth. Their heart, which beats with love for all these souls, recognizes the beings’ plight and immediately steps in to help, both in a spiritual as well as in an earthly respect. For the two go hand in hand. All earthly help results in unspeakable blessings, for it is a labour of love and thus the human being participates in the divine saviour’s act of salvation, even if he is still unaware of it. And thus the human being should endeavour to help and alleviate wherever he sees his fellow human being in need, for what he neglects to do on earth he will have to make up for in the beyond, yet on earth it will bear immeasurable fruit ….
Amen

Materialists …. concept of God …. own will ….
B.D. 0993 from July 4th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
What man rebels against most is the acknowledgement of a power that he does not see or somehow perceive. As a person still standing in matter himself, he is still material to such an extent that only that which he is able to see or whose existence can somehow be proven is a concept to him. However, he rejects everything else as implausible as long as matter holds him captive. Only at the moment when matter begins to lose its value for man has the concept of God become comprehensible to him; he now begins to believe in a being, a power, without being able to prove its existence. However, he will not come to full realization until he himself has made contact with the eternal deity, even if unconsciously. The mere consideration that the whole universe must be controlled by a higher being gives rise to frequent reflection, and the human being occupies himself in spirit with the supreme being and begins to recognize the controller of the universe in all works of creation …. From now on he is far more interested in everything that points to the divine creator than in matter, which only appears to be a hindrance to him and is therefore avoided, i.e. fought against, by him more than ever. It can now also be understood how little can be successfully spoken of spiritual things to a materialist, because everything that cannot be grasped or felt by him with his hands appears questionable and untrustworthy to him …. And all talk in this regard is in vain until matter no longer appeals to him or he is obviously made aware of the work of the eternal deity through painful events. The lack of spiritual knowledge is often not so disadvantageous for such a person, for he would outright deny it or regard it as the pipe dream of a fantasist, and therefore such a person should remain in his ignorance until he himself has a desire for it and expresses this through a thoughtful nature and willing detachment from everything worldly …. combined with a steadily growing desire for spiritual truths. Such a person can penetrate far deeper into the spiritual realm if such a transformation has taken place within him, however, this transformation must have taken place of his own free will, there must be no human influence whatsoever, for it is precisely such initial deniers of God who are extraordinarily mentally active, and if they deal with this problem of divinity in the first place, they will certainly get on the right path through the mental influence of the spiritual helpers, whereas human influence would only strengthen their will to reject and thus the goal would be more difficult to achieve. However, it is not disadvantageous to direct such people’s thoughts towards areas which were previously foreign to them so that they are offered the opportunity to decide for themselves …. but free will should do the rest ….
Amen

Power of divine love …. resistance ….
B.D. 0994 from July 5th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Nothing is more powerful and extensive than the power of divine love. Man and every work of creation are the products of this love, and countless new creations are immediately brought into being through the power of divine love and everything that lives is continuously cared for. Whatever is born of love must move unchangingly in this love and be fed and sustained by it. For a being that lacked divine love would have to cease to exist, since it is in itself God’s will to love and therefore, if God wanted to withdraw His will to love, it could no longer exist. Yet God’s wisdom, in loving care, united all beings emanating from Him with each other again through love, so that they, as separate beings, seemingly stand isolated in creation, yet strive towards their starting point again through active love for each other and thus become again what they were from eternity …. power and love in God …. And since divine love rules everything, because everything emerged from it, no other power can ever destroy what is love in itself …. Yet the God of love also created a resistance for Himself and endowed it with the same abundance of strength, with the same abilities and free will in order to be able to test the strength of His love as it were …. For it had to be a resistance in order to stimulate all existing things to extreme activity from then on, for all activity unfolds according to its resistance. Only in constant struggle does strength increase, and constant activity is life. And because all strength from God is available to these God-begotten beings, it is also possible for them to overcome the resistance, as a result of which the strength in itself increases but is lost to the opposing power to the same extent. God’s love is light, strength and grace, and the being’s reunification with God takes place when it desires divine grace, which gives it strength from God, and the being then becomes pure light and love and has therefore returned to its origin. Every reduction of this strength withdraws the light from the being and increases the power …. thus the influence of the adversary on the being. But then the love of God wrestles with the adversary …. in that God’s grace approaches the being to an unusual degree and now a fierce battle starts for the spiritual being born of God, on which love imposes itself as it were in order to show it the right path. Yet in the same way the opposing power also struggles for its possession, only it does not choose noble means but tries to force the spirit down through vices, hatred and vices of all kinds, and these means of power are by no means as successful as divine love …. For the power is love, which is inherent in every highly developed spiritual being, is already so inexhaustible and powerful that it conquers the power of darkness …. Yet every spirit was created out of God with free will, love courts every being and is not afraid of resistance, for it can never exert itself, thus it cannot be defeated either …. Conversely, however, evil is not banished in the will either, for it drives love to highest activity, thus also to constant increase …. And thus the adversary loses power despite all apparent successes …. one being after another is wrested from him through love …. Love will assert itself and encompass everything in infinite space, in time and eternity ….
Amen

Day of the separation …. raging of the elements …. natural events ….
B.D. 0995 from July 5th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The lord lets world events take their course as it has been determined since eternity, for people themselves desire their downfall since they likewise bring about the separation from God themselves, for they have already given Him up in their hearts and therefore do not hesitate to deny Him outwardly as well. And therefore the day of separation must come …. The day when the righteous will be separated from the unrighteous and everyone will find their well-deserved reward. Mankind does not believe until the judgement will overtake them, sin takes over, and man no longer respects his neighbour’s property, he falls into sin and vice and therefore has to expect an imminent end if he does not decide to repent. And the end will be here very soon …. people will think they are at the height of their lives when the end comes …. They will still endeavour to gain everything beautiful from the world, they will indulge in the pleasure of life, indulge their desires, regard themselves as masters of creation and think of no higher power and be torn from the highest enjoyment of life by this power, which will put an end to it because it will no longer be remembered. The world turmoil will be so great that the admonition from above will not be heeded, which will still reach them in the last hour through God’s grace and mercy. They will mock what points upwards and put in chains whoever pulls against them through the word. And then the spiritual and earthly decay will begin …. And no-one will be able to save himself without divine help …. And the distress will be great, the forces of nature will have a devastating effect, the earth will burst, the waters will roar, the mountains will move and valleys will spill over, fertile land will turn into desert, and nothing on earth will be spared or offer protection to those who want to escape the judgement. And the elements will unleash such violence that everything that human hands have created will be destroyed and boundless misery will reign where earthly power and splendour used to be. Everyone will be small and powerless in the face of this raging of nature …. And the lord will be heard with a voice of thunder in this roar that will fill the whole earth. And only he will be saved whose heart sends a heartfelt sigh to the heavenly father. But the lord has as little regard for the hardened sinner as he has for Him and lets him perish so that the earth only serves as a dwelling place for the person who recognizes a God in heaven and wants to serve Him. But whoever prays to the father in greatest need will find favour in His sight and likewise be miraculously saved from all distress …. And blessed are those who carry the lord in their hearts and are prepared for the coming judgement …. the lord will lovingly stand by them so that they will not lose faith in Him in the greatest adversity but remain strong and fearlessly and trustingly abandon themselves to the father in heaven. He will lead them out of all trouble ….
Amen

Sense of the Latin words …. mental weakness ….
B.D. 0996 from July 6th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Nomine l’est arkanum brento
Behold, My child, you hear My word and the wise do not grasp it. It is My will that you nevertheless have faith in divine guidance, which does not allow anything to happen to you without intention. The meaning is still closed to men, these words still awaken doubts in you, but with firm faith enlightenment will also come to you. A writing will come to light which bears the same wording and a supernatural activity will be recognized in it, and then it is extremely important to have these words in your writings, therefore take them down in your writings without hesitation and trust …. for only faith will give you the strength you need ….
In moments of spiritual weakness the eternal divinity often imparts a food to you which seems indigestible to you, however stimulates the spiritual activity so that this weakness is overcome, and now a digestion process starts in spiritual respect, which influences man immensely furthering, and whether you also resist and would like to withdraw from this influence, the spiritual holds you captive as with chains, and you do not give up for the sake of slight doubts what up to now was the highest for you. The living water must also flow inexhaustibly from an inexhaustible source, and whether you receive even unmeasured, no limit will be set for you, and the more you receive the more astonishing results you will achieve. And the battle for truth will be incomprehensible to you, for you stand in the midst of truth and can no longer comprehend other thoughts. You have become bearers of strength yourselves through the reception of divine truth, and you find this path so natural because you are completely permeated by the strength of this truth. And thus you also have to accept from the father’s hand what comes to you with wise intentions …. You are truly unable to draw the boundaries yourselves as to what is credible or not and therefore only ever have to endeavour to act in accordance with God’s will and thus do what the voice of your heart commands you to do, and your actions will be right before God ….

Thus begins the new time, the new spiritual kingdom …. everything will tremble that was previously at rest, and all spirituality will be unspeakably agitated, and only the will that belongs to God will be authorized in this coming time of maturity. And the world will be defeated and with it everything that is hostile to the soul. Then the spirit will detach itself from matter and soar upwards, and it will seek its creator in order to honour Him for all eternity …. And when this time is approaching, the lord makes Himself known so that all the world hears Him …. He calls those who are in arrears and reminds them often to remember their souls; He bears witness to His power and knocks on everyone’s heart and desires admission, and with a loud voice He warns them to forget Him. And when He will come to earth in power and glory then the new spiritual kingdom will have arisen and the bright day will have dawned which will replace the spiritual night and the darkness will part and the dawn will herald the day, and those who experience the emergence of the new kingdom will rejoice in the light ….
Amen

Spiritual poverty …. spiritual wealth …. earthly renunciation ….
B.D. 0998 from July 7th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
It is an ineffable happiness when man’s mind is focussed on the eternal and imperishable. All spirit of the present time only seeks the earthly and has become almost unsurpassable in its desire for the world; it almost never enters into a state of self-contemplation, and man remains superficial in his nature, full of lust and earthly-minded, and yet he must constantly realize his spiritual poverty, his empty inner life and his extremely endangered state of soul, and he must unwaveringly endeavour to free himself from this painful situation of the soul. Only he who desires God and His kingdom can be accepted into the circle of the knowledgeable and thus draw from the eternal fountain, and this spiritual knowledge is so immeasurably valuable as it immensely promotes the soul’s higher development, and thus it also recognizes the uselessness of earthly life, even if it is not granted any bodily pleasures and joys in earthly life, it nevertheless has faith in immortality, in eternal life and its glory and can be called far richer and happier than it could ever be in earthly enjoyment. And all the power of the world cannot hand out what the lord God promises to His own, for it cannot give anything of itself that the lord does not give or that is His will from eternity; on the other hand, He will give His own an abundance of inner happiness and spiritual gifts and also an abundance of earthly possessions if the human being desires spiritual wealth and perseveres in love for the lord and his neighbour …. But how poorly the world will consider him …. How devastatingly small will be the successes a person has to show at the end of his days, and what a lack of spiritual wealth will characterize the uselessness of earthly life and what painful remorse such an imperfect soul will feel …. But heaven will be open to the earthly child who has renounced all earthly pleasures and turned towards eternity. Life on earth is truly short …. what a person has lacked in this life will be given to him in abundance in the next, and he will find priceless possessions there again if he has collected them on earth and thought of the life to come. Man asks the spirit from God about things that are still incomprehensible to him, and the spirit wants to bring him understanding. However, if he does not find the ground prepared, he cannot receive an answer, for in order to receive it he needs the will to renounce earthly enjoyment and only seek spiritual edification. This replaces a thousandfold what he gives away, for earthly happiness is like foam, it fades away and leaves nothing behind that is of value for eternity. But spiritual endeavour gathers spiritual riches and stimulates the human being to penetrate spiritual knowledge ever more eagerly, and the divine blessing will not fail to materialize and such an earthly child will be provided for in abundance so that it need not live in want when it has left earthly life. For the lord will share His wealth of love with the one who desires Him and His love ….
Amen

Desire for the divine word is an outflow of God's love ….
B.D. 0999 from July 8th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Surrounded by divine love, you will remain in the spirit of the lord, for it can never be separated from Him who has taken such intimate contact with Him. And the more intimately you implore Him and His grace, the more powerfully His love works in you and draws you close to Him, as it were. And His word is the outflow of His love, which has taken hold of you and no longer wants to leave you. And this love is strength and shares itself with you …. The more you desire this strength, the more noticeably it flows into you, for its fullness expresses itself in a constantly increasing longing for the divine word …. in a fervent desire for divine grace and deep strength of faith. The earthly child will desire the word of God from the bottom of its heart, for it cannot do otherwise because divine love permeates it …. it will remember the lord at all times and in all places and long to enjoy His presence through the word …. It will listen to this word with the greatest devotion and never tire of receiving it; and this longing desire is, after all, the love of the lord, Who directs all of man’s feelings to Himself and makes him immensely happy in giving. This is incomprehensible to the world, for it does not even remotely grasp the possibility of a connection between God and man on earth, which has such an obvious effect and yet again only makes itself felt spiritually, because all feelings in this respect can also only be felt spiritually. And the world grasps the creator’s infinitely deep love for His living creations even less …. What devotes itself to Him is inseparably connected to Him through love, and whoever desires Him receives incomparably precious things and does not have to fear a decrease of divine grace and a diminishing of His gifts from above. Desiring and listening within produces incredibly wise results, and in the divine word the lord reveals Himself to those who desire Him …. Is there anything more beautiful and valuable on this earth than to dwell in spirit where the father is? …. And to feel the love of the father over and over again and to receive His grace? …. He who is honoured on earth with the divine word is to be called immeasurably rich, and all power flows to him. And thus the lord must educate His little children on earth to love if He wants to work through them and make their hearts receptive to His word …. He must incessantly influence them mentally, yet if the will professes Him undividedly and the earthly child has felt the divine grace in itself it will remain faithful to Him for all eternity, for the lord protects those who devotedly entrust themselves to Him, He continues to give them divine truth and the human heart is inflamed with ever more ardent love for Him and is no longer able to live without the lord’s visible love. Life would be of no value to him if he had to give up this most precious union with the lord. The more he longs for the lord, the more inseparably he unites himself with the heavenly father and remains His for all eternity ….
Amen

Charity motif ….
B.D. 1000 from July 9th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The motive of christian neighbourly love has become completely different from what it should be from God, and this is due to the fact that humanity is no longer aware of how necessary ‘love in itself ‘ is to return to the father and how everything in the universe is closely interwoven with the concept of love. Love for matter is spiritual death, but love for one’s neighbour and thus for God as the creator of all things is spiritual life. Wherever only true love would be active, no spiritual decline could be recorded, but where love for matter predominates, all spirituality is completely lost. Love is the highest thing on earth and points the way to God …. however, if it applies to earthly possessions, it increases matter and pulls downwards …. The more a person is filled with the feeling of love, the more clearly the spirit in him will be able to express itself, but this love must be for God and his neighbour, not for matter. An extremely wrong way of thinking has now brought humanity so far that it is no longer able to distinguish what true, i.e. divine love is …. whether it springs from the heart or has its origin in the physical life of man, in purely physical desires. The person who is driven by inner love to do good incessantly does not think of any earthly reward, but this holy feeling of love is so fused with himself that he cannot help but be lovingly active …. He has the urge to help, comfort and give wherever his (love) help is needed. He does not calculate anxiously, he does not give to his neighbour in a measured way, but is only imbued with deep love for his neighbour, and this is the right love before God, which is also the right path to eternal life …. The human being, however, who only remains in matter, is only intent on increasing matter on earth, i.e. earthly goods, and deriving his advantage from everything. If he now helps his neighbour, it is always only a certain calculation to gain some kind of benefit from it, and pure, unselfish neighbourly love is a concept he does not understand. But calculating love can never have a redeeming effect, and charity is again the greatest factor that must be reckoned with …. Man is supposed to redeem himself through love, but the love of possessions usually takes precedence and prevents him from practicing unselfish love. Consequently, anyone who wants to comply with the divine commandment must willingly renounce matter, he must learn to despise it, only then can pure love fill his heart …. he learns to love God when matter is nothing to him, and thus also his neighbour …. since love is inherent in man, all too often in the wrong sense. Anyone who loves himself more also craves all earthly possessions, and no matter how far away the eternal deity is from him …. he must first willingly surrender everything that binds him to matter …. he must seek to become free of it and mould himself into love …. only then will the human being experience an inner transformation; he will feel the spark of divine love within himself and then cannot help but transfer it to other people, and only then will this be true christian neighbourly love, which has a redeeming effect in the true sense of the word ….
Amen

Subordinating the will …. insight into the home of the spirit ….
B.D. 1001 from July 9th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The eternal deity demands your will and the use of all your strength …. you are therefore only allowed to relinquish your will but in return receive immeasurable divine strength, and the meaning and purpose of your earthly life is completely fulfilled. For if you submit your will to the lord, He will now guide you as it serves you and give you the strength to be able to fulfil all requirements. All responsibility is then taken from you, for you have willingly handed it over to the lord, you are in full possession of divine strength …. It will therefore not be difficult for you to do what the lord asks of you through His commandments …. And thus you will fully prepare yourselves for life in eternity and will be able to leave earthly life in a perfect state, for then you will also have love …. since the subordination of one’s own will to the divine will is conditional in love for God. However, where a person lacks love for God, he will not submit himself joyfully but rebel and want to act contrary to divine will. As a child of God, however, the feeling of love for the father must outweigh everything else and the will to serve Him and keep His commandments must be born out of such love …. Perishable goods must be sacrificed to Him, while spiritual riches must be pursued with all fervour, always thinking only of the soul and not of the body. And then the father in heaven will fetch His child home because it has fulfilled its mission on earth …. And now the father wants to announce to you how the spirit that is in you endeavours to detach your soul from matter …. He wants to let you gain insight into the realm that is its true home, which is only permitted to the soul when it has united itself with the spirit from God. Full of harmony and yet varied appear to the observer the regions which grant the stay of the soul united with the spirit. For such a soul can no longer be touched by anything imperfect, nor can it be disturbed figuratively, for where the light shines, all impurity is far away, and a soul that has become one with its spirit stands in the light. As soon as the soul has escaped the earth or its body, all heaviness, all burden of the earth is taken from it, it sees everything in radiant light from that hour on and is no longer touched by the heaviness that affects people. And an indescribable feeling of bliss informs it of the divine saviour’s nearness, and the longing for Him is so immeasurably great that the lord satisfies this longing, which arises from love for Him, with His presence and this is the epitome of all bliss for His creature, which only now becomes what it was from the beginning …. a part of the eternal deity and thus divine power of love …. This strength communicates itself again to the beings whom the blissful being of light wants to assist, for it now has to give in the same measure as it receives, and that state is unspeakably blissful, and everything that presents itself to the spiritual eye of the being of light is of such incomparable beauty …. and the being rejoices in its freedom and remembers with horror the shackle in earthly life which held it in bondage for a long time. Now that the soul has succeeded in uniting with the spirit, everything heavy and burdensome is left far behind, and only now does the soul realize how necessary the conscious striving for this union was and how oppressive the bound state was for the spirit. And now it endeavours with greatest zeal to release other souls from their captivity, and for its part it now does everything in order to enlighten and help them and is indescribably busy and active when it is necessary to facilitate their path upwards, so that one day these souls, too, will become free and can enter the kingdom of peace ….
Amen

Unbelief reason for world events …. grace period …. frame ….
B.D. 1002 from July 11th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The distress on earth has never been so great, that the eternal deity felt compelled to violent intervention to such an extent, that unnamable misery is granted in earthly relationship of humanity. The more faithless people walk their paths, the harder they will be shocked by those measures, because only this faithlessness alone is cause of all suffering, but this is the last chance still to influence the people educational in a way. If even then man passes suffering and misery all with closed eyes, without thinking of the Lord, there is any help for the soul impossible. Deepest loneliness and abandonment human can only recognize, that any other purpose is the reason of his earthly existence, and the reasoning is only steered then correct, when the man is striving to fulfill his purpose on earth. What formerly moves his mind, is earthly and therefore completely useless …. Only in the state of knowing the direct influence of spiritual strength is so far perceptible, that now all gains form and life, which so far touched man only in an unreal mental way. But at times of deepest unbelief people’s sense is much more willing to find favor to superficial, unimpotant things, and always strive, to exploit earthly as possible for the short time on earth, but to reject all spiritual thoughts, and thus spiritual forces have little influence on those people …. Where now all effort of these remains unsuccessful, where the human is completely outside spiritual work, it is necessary now, to make use of means, which probably bring unspeakable misery, however are not completely unsuccessful, and so the events on earth are increasing day by day, visible by notify the transitoriness of earthly goods and bodily life …. Incessantly people is pointed the way, they have to go, but this way does not appear them passable precisely because they do not want to believe. They will oppose each natural disaster and also all other events again and again their arguments and objections full of wisdom, but never want to recognize the admonitions and warnings of the eternal Godhead in it. And the strangest events are quite natural in their view, phenomena explained with forces of nature, which is attributed no extraordinary importance. A repetition of such events from time to time will only achieve, that mankind gets used to it and always opposes apathetic to them, and the inevitable consequence from it is, that the eternal Deity will give now correspondingly more powerful signs and its ministry to people, so that even the weak in faith, not completely stubborn people realize this as mission from above and save their souls, before it is too late. Such signs must indeed always happen to the people within one’s natural means, in order not to influence the will of the same compulsorily, but the magnitudes of these signs will yet many people cause to think. And will even become suspicious, who engaged in purely scientific pursuits till then, when they will realize, that their studies and results do not withstand and all earthly calculations get irrelevant in face of such events, which intervene disturbing and catastrophic in the earthly life. Because the work of the Lord will appear everywhere …. people will notice the extraordinary of His ministry, but not recognized as such. People will look too much for an explanation corresponding to their thought and will, but also recognize the inadequacy of their knowledge …. Truly their doubts will be a blessing to them, because it is the begin to believe, because who is not afraid to admit, that his knowledge to explain is not sufficient, he looks involuntarily to get a spiritual way after a statement, and then is no longer left in unknowing or doubts, because he seeks the truth and therefore he is very close advised to the right path. So then he pays attention only to the emotion of his heart, he will come to the right knowledge soon, and this will redound to the benefit of his soul. There is still bestowed a short grace period upon the people, and yet the day will dawn very soon, when death will bring in a big harvest, and blessed is the man, who regards all signs and will not be indolent to work in his soul. For God will go to see each, and also the big coming event is only a demonstration of the infinite divine love, which is directed at all creatures on earth, and therefore leaves nothing undone, to save these creatures from desperate straits of the soul ….

Admonition to exercise self-control …. Gentleness – Peacefulness ….
B.D. 1003 from July 12th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Learn to restrain yourselves and become gentle and peaceful, for your time on earth is given to you as a probationary period during which you should reach full maturity, training and shaping yourselves for the benefit of your soul. You will hardly be able to fulfil your earthly task if you don’t strive for this first, for all your soul’s difficulties arise from your own lack of self-control. And thus hear what the Lord Himself is proclaiming to you:
You, My children on earth, have to make an effort to treat each other with love …. You have chosen this stay on earth in the knowledge of what you are lacking; you have many opportunities to combat your weaknesses and mistakes, yet you must also have the good will to make use of the possibilities offered and, through constant self-restraint, grow stronger and overcome your mistakes. Bear in mind, My children, with how much patience I have to overlook your weaknesses again and again, and yet My love for you does not diminish …. Consider how much more reason I would have to become impatient, and how I, nevertheless, in utmost patience and mercy, embrace My children again and lovingly forgive them when they have trespassed …. consider that My life on earth demanded an abundance of patience towards sinful humanity, which nevertheless did not recognise My love and repaid all the good I did for people with ingratitude, and finally made Me suffer so indescribably ….
How much did they humiliate Me and devised all sorts of torments and, without any blame, handed Me over to be crucified …. And I patiently shouldered even this most bitter injustice and nevertheless did not withdraw My mercy from those who wronged Me …. I implored the Father in heaven to forgive them their sins and did not turn away from humanity but tried to win them over with patience and love and thereby bring them redemption. And therefore you should also practise the virtue of self-denial, one should live for the other and only ever endeavour to ease each other’s suffering, so that you will become perfect and will not have lived your earthly life in vain. And sacrifice all your worries and pains to Me, and you will become as gentle as doves and communicate with each other patiently and with love, and inner calm will enter your hearts …. and I will help you if you are in danger of losing yourselves.
Amen

"Behold, I am with you always …."
B.D. 1004 from July 13th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
“Behold, I am with you always ….” These words shall be your comfort and confidence at all times. I will not abandon My own if only they desire Me, and I will help you bear all suffering if only you trust Me with faith. I will certainly make you bear your suffering, but only so that you remember Me and call upon Me for help in all adversity. For I want to strengthen your faith, I want you to let your faith become that strength that no earthly suffering can make you anxious and despondent anymore. You are still despondent and threaten to collapse under the oppositions I send you, but when these can no longer harm you, when nothing can make you waver in your faith in My help, you have reached that degree of strength of faith that I can work through you. Behold, how much easier life will be for you when you no longer have to pay attention to the daily oppositions and no longer have to worry about daily life. To be a true child of its father in heaven also requires complete trust that it will be protected in every adversity and danger, and thus I want to know My children standing in faith and trust in God …. I want them to always and constantly seek Me, that they approach Me fearlessly and in full faith in order to be able to fulfil their requests at any time …. They should always turn their hearts to Me and never become of little faith, and My love will take notice of their need and deliver them from it. What an indescribable abundance of grace is therefore always at your disposal if I promise you My help when you desire it …. And it is only necessary that you believe and ask …. I will not abandon you, for I know of all the suffering on earth and am willing to help wherever you believingly desire it. You alone create all difficulties for yourselves; if you are distant from Me in your heart, I have to direct your thoughts to Me, and that through hardship and suffering. But if you carry Me in your heart, you are also secure in My heart, and what you are then still obliged to carry only serves your own salvation …. One day you will thank Me when you realize why you were given this …. Yet you cannot grasp it on earth and should therefore only take up the little cross without grumbling and complaining and carry it humbly for My sake. The body passes away and with it earthly pain …. But you should fear for your soul, whose suffering is far greater if the body is spared suffering on earth. I love all My little children and do not want them to suffer throughout eternal times, yet this would be your fate if I kept earthly suffering away from you, which is truly not the hardest thing to bear. And if I promise you My presence, then trust Me and do not become faint-hearted. He who imposes suffering on you can also take it away from you, and He will truly not let you call in vain if you ask Him from the bottom of your heart ….
Amen

Knowledge from God endures for all eternity …. participation of souls in teaching ….
B.D. 1005 from July 13th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
You should remain aware of the fact that the source of all knowledge is only the eternal deity and that, in order to be correctly instructed, you must turn to Him Himself …. And if you seek the source of wisdom elsewhere, you will never find it. Therefore, he who is taught by God will have the highest knowledge, whereas all knowledge of other origins is fragmentary and incomplete, for the latter will not survive bodily death, whereas the former will endure for all eternity. If you hear the call from above you have every guarantee that you have found the core of truth …. And you may confidently build on these fundamental truths, for you must, after all, as taught by God, stand in the truth. Yet where should the human being get the guarantee for the truth of his knowledge if it was merely acquired through human intellect or human teaching …. The father is love, the son is wisdom …. Thus divine love always imparts divine wisdom to His child, for the father, as wisdom Himself, wants to make this known to those who are of Him …. Everything the father has He wants to give to His child, thus also the eternal truth, which is so extremely valuable to receive …. An earthly child with such knowledge is able to exert an unspeakably beneficial influence on many creatures, both on earth and in the beyond. It is able to give still and still …. Whoever has a desire for spiritual knowledge can be considered by the spiritual-gift-receiving earth child. Souls in the beyond are even more likely to make use of such an opportunity to acquire knowledge than people on earth, who often pass by the grace offered to them completely indifferently. They are unspeakably happy to be able to attend regular teachings and therefore draw valuable spiritual knowledge without ceasing and in turn teach those souls who are incapable of forming a spiritual picture of the meaning and purpose of such teachings. The souls also recognize the great grace granted to them that they can participate in this teaching, for once the being has recognized God’s wisdom its whole endeavour is only directed towards this …. It wants to acquire all knowledge in order to ascend by utilizing its knowledge again in order to help the other souls to ascend as well. And only by continuing to follow the lectures from above to earth does the being in the beyond enrich itself with this knowledge, which facilitates its ascent upwards. People on earth, however, so often carelessly ignore what could offer them the greatest advantage in the beyond …. They listen to the explanations of earthly teachers and reject the divine gifts …. And their knowledge will therefore be inadequate and not worthy of eternity, for the divine mission is supreme and inviolable …. and happy is he who is allowed to receive it from the father’s hand ….

The soul chooses its own whereabouts ….
B.D. 1006 from July 14th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The soul has chosen its stay in the flesh for itself and therefore the objection that the human being is forced to be what he is on earth is unfounded. The being has even received an exact description of earth life beforehand, the path on earth has been presented to it, likewise also the degree of maturity which can be reached in this very life, and the being has therefore put on the body of flesh in fullest agreement and has consciously become that to which it has previously given its consent. If the earthly life does not bring him maturity through his own fault, then this is merely due to the will or rather unwillingness of the human being who does not utilize life on earth in the way it can be utilized. Anyone who neglects to be lovingly active on earth has lived his life in vain, and this activity in love is precisely what is needed to reach the state of perfection. And if the soul considers that the embodiment as a human being imposes all kinds of fetters on it, if it considers that opportunities are offered everywhere to loosen these fetters and to be able to reach a truly high degree of maturity in a short time, then the realization of the missed life is so unspeakably bitter for it that remorse for the missed opportunity means true hell for it …. And all spiritual strength cannot succeed in sparing the soul this state of remorse, and therefore it will still powerfully influence the soul during its earthly existence …. and tries to influence a misguided being spiritually as well as physically and to awaken the soul’s sense of responsibility so that it will recognize its task on earth and pay more attention to its work of liberation. Once the human being has imagined that only his will liberates him from his fetters, but that otherwise the wrong will also endangers the soul’s later life, then he no longer lives thoughtlessly into the day but seeks to gain spiritual advantages for himself, and at the same time he uses all opportunities to practice love for his neighbour, for the soul senses its real task precisely in this, moreover it also likes to dwell in the spheres where it does not feel the pressure of the body. It has certainly taken life upon itself with the intention to use it in order to reach perfection, but the wrong thinking in earthly life mostly comes from the fact that the soul does not reach this state quickly enough and therefore holds itself harmless on earth, i.e. it regards the illusory goods as the right good and misjudges the true purpose on earth, but then seeks the supposed guilt in an earthly life which is extraordinarily burdensome for it, while it creates this burdensome state for itself. A right life on earth that is pleasing to God in active neighbourly love will allow the human being to rise above himself in such a way that he will no longer be aware of the seemingly miserable circumstances and thus the self-chosen life in the flesh will bring him the fullest redemption ….

Proof of what man believes ….
B.D. 1007 from July 15th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The worldly mind is not enough to provide complete proof of what your heart tells you to believe. The voice of the heart announces the fullest truth to the person who respects it …. But where the intellect is consulted, which considers all pros and cons, the voice of the heart is not heeded, and now a clear solution is not found through sharp, rational thinking, but so many contradictions will arise and confuse human thinking, which must be the inevitable consequence because man lacks faith …. For he who believes does not ponder …. he who trusts the divine word, which is expressed through the voice of the heart, his heart knows no doubts and does not question and enquire about things which his intellect can never fathom, but he accepts what is offered to him in the form of spiritual gifts, tangible in his heart, without doubt …. For who on earth would want to be able to provide proof to the contrary by virtue of all intellectual thinking …. even the wisest researchers cannot substantiate their research as soon as it concerns processes outside of earthly life. Nor will they succeed in proving that what man believes about God, His creation and God’s direct and indirect influence on humanity is error. The more seriously the believer deals with such problems, the more he penetrates them …. On the other hand, man’s thinking becomes more and more confused the more his intellect alone is active in solving such a problem. As a result, many different views arise …. while those willing to believe will always find themselves in the same truth, as only this one truth is conveyed through the voice of the heart. Those who seek God through faith will also find Him, but those who seek Him by way of the intellect are still so far from Him, for these are mere worldlings who pay no attention to their spirit, and the light of truth does not shine for them, but darkness, the night of the spirit, surrounds them, and thus he who remains in darkness cannot speak of light …. nor can he describe the light-filled path if he has not travelled it himself. And therefore the worldly researcher cannot give enlightenment in an area which he does not know, and even less can he deny something for which full knowledge of it is a prerequisite. And therefore it is not up to the earthly researcher to transfer the results to the spiritual realm and thus destroy childlike faith with them …. For the lord reserves divine wisdom for those who approach Him in humble childlike faith ….

B.D. 1008 from July 16th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Worldly scholars will struggle in vain to obtain a clear picture of the inner structure of extraterrestrial works of Creation. It is not enough to establish the numerical size ratio of other planets in comparison to Earth, nor is the intention of establishing the sun’s influence on these planets and the measurement of luminosity sufficient …. Rather, the research of these planets requires people with enormous knowledge, and such knowledge can only be acquired by spiritual means. No connection exists between Earth and other planets, and no such connection will ever be established even if eternities pass by. On the other hand, however, spiritually, no limitations exist which separate one planet from another. The vast space between two planets does not prevent spiritual beings from communicating with each other and exchanging information about the world they inhabit and its structure. Providing a clear picture of the most related planet to Earth, Saturn, is the task of one of the elevated spiritual beings inhabiting it by giving you humans on Earth a description which offers an undeniable explanation to a person desiring such information. As yet no mortal has succeeded in establishing the dimensions of this planet, for it is not possible to calculate its size because people possess no criterion for the circumference of Saturn. It goes beyond all earthly estimates and is almost an infinite concept for you humans. The basic material of this planet is not the same as that of Earth either …. it consists of transparent, brightly sparkling metal with an inconceivable luminosity. The state of all beings within the vicinity of this radiant matter is in harmony with this brilliant light …. They are exceedingly sensitive to all spiritual currents and are relatively far advanced spiritual beings which, however, did not reach their state of light through conscious striving but are highly educated through God’s will. The task of these beings includes taking care of the spirits on earth. Like on earth, they also live a similar physical life, except that the size ratio of the external shells they occupy is humanly incomprehensible, but accordingly their spiritual power is indescribably effective. Nevertheless, the beings also have to fulfil a function and this is in harmony with their respective embodiment, for these beings also exist in various external shapes on the planet’s surface, but their ability to change far surpasses that on earth, insofar as that they are not animating some external shape as imperfect spiritual beings, but that they can, as it were, change their shell at any time so as to be able to accomplish their set task better and easier in a different shell. Consequently, Saturn shelters living beings, nevertheless they possess a certain degree of maturity or they would not be suitable for this planet since the abundance of light presupposes a specific receptivity to light. These beings are difficult to describe to people on earth because certain laws need to be taken into account which are unknown to people on earth. It would indeed be possible to portray them to you, albeit only in a metaphorical way which illustrates the beings’ activity. And this activity is, in a way, just as necessary for people on earth, for the beings have the task of constantly animating the entire flora, nevertheless, the correlation of this cannot be fully understood by you as yet. Amongst each other, the beings lead a similar life as on earth, in total harmony and spiritual unity, so their dwellings are accordingly and magnificent creations of their own intelligence shaped the surface of the planet into an exceedingly charming abode. Creation consists of countless stars and yet each one differs from the other both in its surface arrangement as well as in the living conditions of its inhabiting beings …. In the same way their basic materials are always of a different kind too …. yet all these creations are governed and directed by one Deity according to His will. And thus God provides countless opportunities for a being so that it can receive and likewise distribute bliss for eternity through lively activity in accordance with its perfection.
Amen

Information of the teaching spirit beings from higher light beings necessary ….
B.D. 1009 from July 17th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
A particularly important task of the spiritual being consists of making contact with exceptionally highly developed spiritual beings at certain intervals in order to receive information from them about the wisely foreseen plans of divine activity. This is necessary so that the spiritual world endeavours to exert its influence on people in an appropriate way, and thus all teaching spiritual beings have to be well-informed and receive all relevant information as long as they are active as teachers themselves but are not yet in fullest knowledge as most perfect beings. Teaching activity does indeed require extremely extensive knowledge, but this only encompasses all already existing divine work of creation and the spiritual task of all beings …. Yet what the lord decides in His wisdom in order to shape His earthly children’s fate in eternity into an exceedingly glorious one is still hidden from these spiritual beings and will be conveyed to the former in due course through the beings of light dwelling in the highest spheres, and this impartation is both exceedingly successful in itself as well as unspeakably blissful for the being in the beyond, for with this impartation the receiving being simultaneously receives light and strength within itself, and this is again a step upwards, a transition into a higher sphere. And his teaching ministry will become increasingly more versatile from the start, and the receiving earthly child as well as the souls in the beyond willing to receive it will also feel this increased spiritual strength …. This current is constantly passed on to all beings coming into closer contact with the receiving earth child, both on earth and in the beyond. This spiritual exchange has to take place from time to time, after all, the teacher as well as the instructed (being) constantly receive thoughts which are connected with the coming world events, and this knowledge again brings successes to light in a spiritual relationship, for anyone who strives towards the spiritual then only looks at every event with a spiritual eye and visibly recognizes the divine guidance ….

Changes in creation …. disasters needed ….
B.D. 1010 from July 18th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
In infinitely long times many a change has taken place in the whole of creation. For the original form was banished spiritual substance which, however, detached itself from this form in the course of the millennia, thus God’s work of creation also had to constantly change in order to bring the spiritual substance the release from the form …. This reshaping of the originally created again has the consequence that a spiritual work can already be recognized from it, because life is everything that changes …. but there is nothing in the universe that retains its form in an unchanged way; it can certainly remain in the same form for thousands of years, but this will never remain a permanent state. Everything in the universe must change, for only in this way does it fulfil the purpose of providing a home for the spiritual, which is to form itself upwards. And if now all these creations have the purpose to be carriers of spiritual substances, then inevitably all destruction of form must have a favourable effect on the spiritual that enlivens it …. it must be the ultimate purpose of matter to be dissolved in order to liberate the spiritual within itself. Thus every apparent work of destruction will only be welcome in a spiritual sense, even though it entails the greatest earthly disadvantage. And after every destruction of any matter the spiritual must escape from it and thus join the people on earth in an unbound state or else take up residence in the new …. i.e. earthly shell which serves the soul’s progress …. earthly shell to which he is entitled. And therefore every new emergence in nature will bring countless spiritual beings to maturity, and especially the smallest, most inconspicuous creations have to fulfil tasks which are not expected of them …. It is generally said that the God of love cannot be so cruel as to abandon whole stretches of land to destruction …. yet these people completely lack the sense for the fact that countless beings thank their creator for every such catastrophe which releases countless spiritual beings from their long banished state, and that the whole of creation only exists for the purpose that these beings have continued opportunities to stay and that such often arise through destruction of all kinds …. that therefore all catastrophes or other natural events which result in the destruction of the earth’s surface are welcomed with immense joy by the spiritual beings who have been in captivity for a long time and who now have to start and live through a new epoch of their life on earth ….
Amen

Inventions …. forces of nature …. faith ….
B.D. 1011 from July 19th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
In the age of modern technology, the forces of nature will make a particularly noticeable appearance, as the aim is to prove to people that all earthly ability and knowledge is of no use if the will of God is not respected. The more a person is convinced of himself and his abilities, the more likely he is to deny divine power and his own dependence on it. And the more necessary it is then that the divine power expresses itself. The human being’s development necessitates all kinds of facilities to which the divine creator gives His blessing if they arise for the benefit and piety of all humanity …. And all spirit, which is expressed in technical inventions, seeks to have a favourable effect on humanity in order to facilitate its striving for the heights, and thus to a certain extent places itself at the service of humanity. However, it is unexplored forces that provide support where man becomes arrogant. And it is precisely these forces that assert themselves in unforeseen natural disasters …. no matter what kind. Wherever man believes that he has found infallible proof that he can utilize some natural force and banish it by his own efforts, an unjustified natural force comes into play and renders previous experience invalid. Man is given the ability by God to utilize the power from God, but always in the same proportion as he relates himself to God. And that person who recognizes God Himself in all natural power will be able to show undreamt-of success …. who, as it were, tackles all work with God that is for the good of humanity and extends to inventions of all kinds. His research and attempts will be crowned with success, and the divine power will, as it were, overflow into such inventions, while the person who believes to draw from himself and is aware of his extraordinary power (will certainly also request the power from God and will not withhold it from him, but he) will to a certain extent take possession of it unlawfully because he presumes to exclude divinity and thus does not subordinate himself to the divine will …. A counter-current will soon make itself felt there. Obstacles upon obstacles will stand in the way of the person working without divine assistance and he will not be able to master them as he relies on himself and does not ask for help …. And these obstacles will again be due to forces of nature, because everything that acts contrary to divine order will, as it were, also have to bear the consequences of this. And thus, despite overcoming many technical difficulties, the human being will always be backward as long as he does not see in the reign of the natural elements proof that all forces in nature are subject to a lord and creator and that his endeavours will therefore only be successful when he himself likewise fits into the divine order and he is only willing to carry out what corresponds to God’s will ….

Sun ….
B.D. 1012 from July 20th 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The sun draws its light and luminosity from love …. understand this well …. God is love and God feeds everything that exists with His power of love, including the countless suns that orbit the universe. Let the power of these suns be explained to you: It is of the utmost importance to know with what tremendous speed all the world’s bodies fly through the universe. Friction creates an extraordinary atmosphere precisely where certain resistances are noticeable, because friction generates heat and therefore an isolated body does not necessarily need to radiate this heat. It is therefore only necessary for an exceptionally moving body to release certain degrees of heat, and the sun could therefore just as well be a cold mass, but the earth would still generate so much heat through its own speed in its revolutions that the demand would be completely covered. Now, however, an explanation must be mentally inserted which develops a completely different picture. The effects of the sun’s rays on the earth are merely due to the fact that divine strength flows uninterruptedly through them onto the earth and its inhabitants, that therefore what you see as sunbeams are countless carriers of strength which have their origin with God as the eternal spirit of love and influence everything on earth and thus nourish it with gifts of love offered by the eternal deity Himself. Every ray of sunlight carries countless small and tiny microbes, which are again unspeakably vital for the existence of living beings on earth. Such carriers of light and power must continuously establish the connection between the eternal deity and its beings, and contact must therefore be and remain established if the being is to be constantly nourished by this power, and this is therefore the purpose of the sun with its rays ….
Amen

Sun ….
B.D. 1013 from July 21st 1939, taken from Book No. 19
What brings about this extraordinary luminosity? …. What is the connection between the forces that simultaneously ignite undreamt-of physical and spiritual effects and ignite an extraordinary light and thus remain inimitable in every respect? …. How do the spiritual currents relate to each other, and what visible or earthly explainable natural force underlies this luminosity? …. These are all questions that penetrate so deeply into spiritual knowledge that the human intellect is truly too small to answer them for itself. Only where purely spiritual knowledge is striven for at the same time can clarification be given, for only in the working of the spiritual forces lies the reason for this miracle of creation. Incomparably sublime is the awareness that man has, as it were, a right to be informed about it, that he may and also should fill in every gap in his knowledge and that consequently no limits are set for him if he is interested in any questions concerning creation. Especially the sun with its radiant effect is indisputably the greatest riddle in nature for men, and yet they desire little or not at all the instructions which are offered to them from above and which in turn alone can be authoritative, because only the deity Himself can explain in detail and comprehensibly something which has its origin infinitely far away from earth. The neutral combination of two elements results in a new substance …. and this law underlies everything. The union of unexplored forces, on the other hand, produces certain frictions, because each force wants to express itself and displace the other. Where such friction arises, the body at the centre, whether solid or not, must ignite, i.e. rebel against the force oppressing it. Consequently, every appearance of light is a resistance of one force to the second force that wants to express itself. And it is the same with every spiritual current of power ….

Sun ….
B.D. 1014 from July 21st 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Regulated instruction can only take place if, in addition to his willingness to receive, the person also feels a certain joy at being allowed to constantly draw from the source of all wisdom …. The desire for truth has a favourable effect insofar as a person’s heart is now most willingly open to receive the gift intended for him. Everything spiritual has the greatest interest in the explanations that your teacher presents to you, and so continue:
(The effect of the sun’s rays) The luminous flux in an electrical installation must be continuously supplemented the more is spent …. however, it is first of all a condition that both external and hidden obstacles that could interrupt the circuit are removed, because the slightest obstacle would be tantamount to stalling and thus endangering the respective receiving device …. Likewise, the supply line to earth must be free of obstacles of any kind, because disregarding this condition could have an extremely damaging effect on everything in this circuit. God’s creation is so skilfully constructed that all obstacles evaporate when the sun appears as a carrier of light. It is precisely the flight of everything that could impair the effect of the rays that again testifies to the omnipotence of divine activity, for the divine will must naturally banish everything that could seriously endanger the earth and its inhabitants. According to human judgement the effect of the sun’s rays on the earth is a result of the strenuous activity of all spiritual beings which tries to influence human thinking …. Here again it is about the power of the stronger, because this pressurizes the underlying power. It will therefore hardly be possible to explain the emergence of the sun’s rays in any other way than that spiritual beings with infinite strength from God approach the earth in the greatest multitude and now, as it were, use themselves in order to prevent an interruption of the strength from God, and thus a constant activity through these spiritual beings must in turn result in the fact that the divine or spiritual strength does not come to a standstill for a moment in earthly existence and thus the uninterrupted irradiation of the earth by the sun finds its explanation in this ….

Sun ….
B.D. 1015 from July 22nd 1939, taken from Book No. 19
It is not uncommon for assumptions to lead to false conclusions, and science has also been incredibly wrong when it assumes that there is some kind of glowing mass at the centre of the sun. After all, the fireball would slowly consume itself and the sun would lose light and luminosity. But this has not been the case for ages and will not be the case for ages to come. By comparison, a hearth of fire can only radiate heat for as long as it contains embers, but every ember must eventually die out unless it is nourished, i.e. supplied with substances that re-ignite and thus increase the embers. Applied to the sun, this incomprehensibly large world body would therefore either have to become constantly smaller, or it would have to attract other world bodies to itself, which would then become one with it, as it were, and thus be constant nutrients for the light- and heat-giving source of fire. But the divine work of creation truly does not need such purely factual arguments …. The effect of the sun’s rays can be traced back to completely different laws …. The power of God Himself shines without any external influence …. It is the power of God’s light in itself, this power is transmitted daily and hourly without interruption into the universe, received by countless spirit bearers and transmitted again by every being, visible and invisible. And therefore you directly receive the life energy from God in the sun’s rays …. hence the sun has to distribute this energy for every living being to thrive, and this happens in a way which is completely alien and incomprehensible to human concepts as long as people attach too little value to the spiritual in itself, for the sun’s rays are a purely spiritual process which, however, is also outwardly visible to people …. While everything else of a spiritual nature is hidden from them or earthly enveloped, the activity of the mature spiritual world expresses itself here in a way that is visible to people but not recognized as such. An unrestrained unfolding of its power, which however is likewise opposed by spiritual things, creates certain frictions, and everything that is supposed to be repressed is aroused and in a way ignited, and since the spiritual power absolutely wants to come to earth, this stream of light and fire must also be noticeable on earth and thus express itself as a bundle of rays from above. And this process can never come to an end as long as unredeemed spiritual substances still somehow enliven the universe, for the mature spiritual substances will not shy away from any resistance and, by overcoming this resistance, will try to reach the place where spiritual strength is needed by the beings …. Thus the sun will shine until all spiritual beings are redeemed ….

Faith and love are the condition for realization and knowledge ….
B.D. 1016 from July 22nd 1939, taken from Book No. 19
Whoever lives in faith and love will soon recognize the divine greatness, wisdom and omnipotence. And whoever prays to the father of all in spirit and in truth, his insight and comprehension will increase and he will now see and understand all things more than ever. By believing and loving, he will fulfil the divine commandments and request divine strength through prayer, and it will be granted to him immediately. The living source of knowledge opens up to him, and now divine wisdom flows into his heart and revitalizes his soul and spirit. On the other hand, it is a lost endeavour to try to acquire knowledge if man eliminates love and faith from his life and is unable to entrust himself in prayer to the creator of heaven and earth in his distress. His spirit is, from an earthly point of view, far more advanced, but only according to human judgement, where knowledge is, as it were, made dependent on intellectual thinking …. Yet this person knows nothing, and his ability and supposed knowledge only extends to things which appear important to people in earthly life but which are of no value for life in eternity. And this person certainly lives in abundance on earth and attributes this to his intelligence and strength …. But he thereby only prepares himself a life of comfort on this earth and cannot take over anything of his possessions when his earthly life is over …. And his earthly wealth will be replaced by spiritual poverty. Therefore hear again the call from above: Be believing and united in love …. do not deprive yourselves of the knowledge imparted to you by the lord Himself but accept His divine word with profound faith …. And you will go through earthly life strengthened, depart easily and one day stand in spiritual wealth in eternity. And seek to penetrate into the secrets of creation, and that on the way of the heart through love …. Everything is ready for you, you may enrich your knowledge still and still, but you have to put faith in God before all thinking and acting, you have to seek Him through love and ask for His grace and love through heartfelt prayer …. and you will stand in the midst of knowledge ….
Amen

World conflagration …. prophecies ….
B.D. 1017 from July 22nd 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The fire of the world will be kindled, and unutterable distress will come upon men. Thus it is written in the prophecies concerning the coming times. And the words of the lord will be fulfilled, for He saw the coming time and with it the apostasy from God …. He sent many warnings to mankind and yet they were not heard. The light is almost extinguished and the power of the adversary is great, which is why the father in heaven is no longer respected. And in order to control this adversity, people’s fate on earth will have to be made unbearable and therefore a hard time will come upon the earth and the word of God will also be hotly disputed in the midst of battling fighters …. All those to whom the great suffering brought the right realization will desire it in the greatest tribulation, but those who expect earthly advantage from the battle of the nations against each other will reject it. Those to whom adversity has brought the realization of divine activity will be blessed, for the great danger they were in is over and now nothing can frighten them anymore that is harmful to the body …. His soul has found the right path that leads out of all adversity. But without resistance, the divine word will rarely find its way into the hearts of mankind …. Everywhere there will be a difficult battle ahead, and the fighters for God will have to stand firm and not waver and speak an open word to everyone undaunted and courageously. For the lord has made mention of this time …. He has announced all suffering and predicted all accompanying phenomena, and therefore the time has come when worldly events must be given free rein by the creator, for humanity only listens to the sound of the world and not to the divine voice which calls for repentance before it is too late.

Twitching lightning …. distress and gloom …. light morning ….
B.D. 1018 from July 23rd 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The sky covers itself and the sun no longer wants to give its light, and all forces of nature unite to work together against humanity, which no longer recognizes its God and creator. And irrevocably a heavy pressure is laid upon them, for God’s love takes pity on His children and He must let the harshest chastisement pass over them if they are not all to be irretrievably lost. The will of man is different from the will of God …. Man ridicules and mocks every teaching that points upwards, and the greed for possessions has become so great that such must necessarily be destroyed …. And unkindness among people has reached its highest development, not one stands for but against the other, and the spiritual misery of the individual cannot be controlled in any other way than through an adversity which is so unspeakably great that people will help each other who still have a little spark of love in them …. And so the lord sends one adversity after another upon the earth and its inhabitants …. He will cause lightning to flash in the darkness of souls so that they will look around them in fear and plead for help …. And everyone will be allowed to experience the dawning morning in radiant light if he wants to escape the darkness …. And so the world has now become a source of fire in many places, and spiritual hardship and tribulation were the cause of the most severe trials for the children of the earth …. But likewise the light will come from above, and in the same measure as people accept it, all heaviness of the time will be taken from them, for the father only requires the soul, the free will of His children, and He will henceforth give them His peace …. Therefore seek the light of truth, remain in faith and love …. and all the difficulties of the coming time will only touch you like a shadow, for He Who gave you life can also save you from all adversity if you ask Him for it with a believing heart ….

Creature …. work of creation …. man ….
B.D. 1019 from July 23rd 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The life course of all creatures requires a complete detachment from the solid form. Only that which is free can follow the path prescribed to it as an individual being in nature, apparently vegetating in isolation in creation until it has gone through all the stages of embodiment and has travelled the path on earth. An ever-repeating separation from the respective outer form must take place in order to have completely overcome this very form. Each new form means a struggle for the being and finally the defeat of the form through separation from it. A continuous remodelling of the outer shell can only be possible in this way, and everything that lives on earth, in the air and in the water gives up the shell again and again for its own further development. Consequently, beings are capable of change as long as they are immature, i.e. unfinished, and it is extremely wisely arranged by the eternal creator that a constant change takes place in natural life …. that the emergence and passing away of every living being is ensured and that the earth’s surface offers shelter to countless small creatures without interruption, which are in a constant state of transformation. It would be incomprehensible to man if the diversity and also the multiplicity were to be documented numerically …. Countless creations and variations that are inestimable to human terms bear witness to the wisdom and omnipotence of the creator. Man can be called infinitely small and tiny compared to the glory and greatness of the work of creation, and yet he himself is at the centre of this creation. He is the goal of all creation …. he has passed through all creation and contains all works of creation in the smallest reproduction within himself, and for the sake of man, i.e. his soul, the whole work of creation has come into being, for man is to become a child of God, the image of the divine father, and thus the purpose of the work of creation is an exceedingly mighty one and man, standing in the midst of the work of creation, is to a certain extent the most glorious work of God’s creation, and in turn every creature serves the soul, which is imperishable, for its one-time perfection ….

Love …. grace …. word …. comforting words of the father ….
B.D. 1020 from July 23rd 1939, taken from Book No. 19
The most intimate contact with the heavenly father is being absorbed in love …. Surrounded by divine grace, the path to eternal life is thus passable, for the father Himself leads His child and the latter confidently places itself under His protection. And again it is the word He gives to His own which proclaims His infinite love …. so that they will not be abandoned and walk alone on earth, He is in the midst of them in the word, for the word is the lord Himself …. The word is His love, His grace and the constant proof of His concern for the children of earth …. Love always makes Him remember His own, He turns His grace towards them and He brings Himself very close to people through His word. And if you humans now feel the closeness of the divine lord, if you feel cared for by His love and receive His grace daily and hourly, then thank Him sincerely for His love and watch and pray …. that it may remain with you and that you may not anger and grieve the father …. that you may not sin against this divine love, which gives you the most precious …. Himself in the word ….
He who teaches you, My child, has My instruction and moulds every gift according to your understanding and your will to love …. but what you receive shall increase your love for Me and mould you according to My will, for I want to take abode in your heart and make you My fighter …. I want to give your soul the strength to offer resistance to every danger that approaches you …. I will and it will be …. And the battle for faith will spur you on to increased activity, and standing in the light you will no longer pay attention to danger but only act according to My will. And the fire of My love will take hold of you and ignite your heart …. And all fear of weakness of faith will be overcome, for My child’s desire for Me and My love is, after all, its will to serve Me with every step …. And so I take this will of yours and therefore also your heart, for I leave no prayer unanswered which is only for the union with Me …. For I love you, My children, beyond all measure ….
Amen
