The deepest understanding of spiritual teachings can only be expected where there is also the will to be enlightened. For if the human being desires to know then he will also open his heart to the one giving out knowledge; he will take the trouble to think through what he has received and will now also be able to distinguish truth from error, for He Who sends the truth to the human being wants it to be received. Thus He will also give the one who desires truth the power of realization to regard truth as such and to deny everything that is untrue. If the human being now seeks to penetrate spiritual territory he thereby demonstrates the will to cultivate his inner life …. Separation from matter sets in, it no longer holds him exclusively captive, even if it has not yet been completely overcome. Forming the soul is the only task of earthly life; thus, if the human being pays attention to everything that benefits the soul, he begins to take the task seriously. It is now also understandable that such a soul is offered help from all sides, that all mature spirituality takes care of such souls and gives enlightenment where this is desired. Whoever carries out the work on his soul carelessly and superficially can understandably also not be given as much spiritual strength as a person who strives for perfection with all his senses. Once the human being has realized that his stay on earth is not for eternity, but if he also has the inner certainty that the life of the soul does not end with bodily death, then the human being’s urge to reach a higher degree of spiritual maturity will also become stronger and he will then seek to penetrate spiritual knowledge. recognizing his purpose in life on earth involuntarily triggers an increased urge to act …. For the knowing person consciously approaches his fulfilment …. The knowledgeable person no longer gropes his way through the darkness, but takes firm steps along a brightly lit path. He desires only the light …. the truth …. the knowledge. And because he desires, he will also have the fullest understanding of everything spiritual, nothing will be incomprehensible to him, nothing inexplicable, but everything will be just one single solution to what was previously incomprehensible to him. It is the spiritual hunger that drives such people to penetrate ever deeper into the spiritual …. and which is nevertheless satisfied again and again because it is divine will that food and drink is offered to him who desires spiritual nourishment. And therefore no being, both on earth and in the beyond, will go away empty-handed if it desires to be guided into spiritual truth, for this is pleasing to God …. Seek, and ye shall find …. knock and it will be opened to you …. The lord repeatedly admonishes His own to seek the connection with Him …. He wants to point out to them that they will not strive in vain and that their requests will always be fulfilled. For He distributes spiritual goods without measure, and a person who begs the father in heaven for enlightenment, for the illumination of his spirit, will never make a wrong request. The desire for what is God’s …. for spiritual knowledge …. will be fulfilled at all times, but the desire for matter will only be granted a little from the divine side, unless the latter is not a hindrance to the former. Do not take care of the body’s needs …. says the lord …. And again this is an indication that only what the spirit desires is of value …. for what the body needs is given to everyone who only thinks of his soul.

The blessing of spiritual labour also extends to earthly life and its demands, and those who seek to perfect themselves spiritually will have less to struggle with. For he regocnizes his task, and it is precisely the attainment of this realization that so often requires the difficult struggle of earthly life. Therefore, the human being can be spared it once he has gained this realization. If a person cares for his soul of his own accord, God cares for his life …. He provides him with everything he needs and keeps earthly worries away from him, insofar as this serves the advancement of his soul ….

Amen

The course on earth requires a certain knowledge of the spiritual, for this stimulates his endeavour without forcing the human being to ennoble himself. Ignorance of it does not exclude that man also develops spiritually higher, only then the being must have extraordinary desire for God and be extraordinarily lovingly active. Both must lie dormant deep within him, i.e. the being in him must already be aware of its origin from God and, without any knowledge of the divine essence, unconsciously unite itself with God through deepest love and therefore cannot help but be good. But this already presupposes a rather high degree of maturity which is extremely rare in an earthly being. This is why people who lack all knowledge of the spiritual will usually be at a lower level; they will only ever regard their earthly existence as an end but not as a means to an end. Only the knowledge of the spiritual changes their view, and only then do they live consciously on earth …. aware of their task and also aware of the consequences of a right or wrong life on earth. He makes a distinction between right and wrong earthly life and this is the beginning of the striving for ascent ….

These are often grave thoughts which can make a seriously striving earthly child waver if they are not dispelled from the spiritual side and a clear answer is given to the person. On the one hand, man believes himself to be free from guilt, and on the other hand, the feeling of unworthiness weighs him down, so he also regocnizes a certain guilt. Both the former and the latter are now an obstacle to the right realization …. For he who feels himself blameless does not utilize the opportunities offered to his soul …. he does not feel needy, therefore he does not accept what is offered to him …. And the feeling of unworthiness again makes him sometimes despondent and timid …. He does not dare to desire what is available to him in abundance. And so these reservations must first be dispelled. The earthly child must certainly regocnize his still low spiritual state, however, the spiritual working, which is made visible to him through spiritual teachings, must also take away his own despondency, he must now also make use of the spiritual strength and do everything to become worthy of this grace, which is the working of spiritual forces in the beyond for him. If he opens his heart to those teachings which inform him of spiritual working he will also immediately feel the strength and help of those beings and consciously accept them …. Yet this strength can hardly be conveyed to someone who is completely ignorant because he does not open himself and thus does not want to receive it. And everything divine has to be desired because receiving it without desire would judge the being and lead it to a state of maturity which is not the result of its free will …. But in order to desire something, the human being must have knowledge of it and then be free to ask for it or to reject it. This is why the concern of all beings in the beyond is to initiate the completely ignorant human being into everything spiritual, only then can he consciously work on himself and his perfection ….

Amen

Pay attention to the finest voice in you, it will show you right, and so you hear the will of the lord, and when you obey it, the power also comes to you from God …. This is the secret of an easy life on earth …. Wherever you endeavour to do justice to the divine will, no earthly burden will weigh you down, and thus you must seriously examine yourselves to what extent you have complied with the lord’s will if earthly life brings you hardship and worry. You must subject your thoughts, your actions to a serious examination as to how far they correspond to divine will, to His commandments imparted to you, and you will discover many a deficiency in yourselves which you must now endeavour to remedy. And earthly life will be easier to bear, for God blesses everyone who is willing and respects His commandments. And He has to let you feel this pressure time and again so that you will not become tired and careless in moulding yourselves according to His will. He knows the state of your soul, He knows about your shortcomings, He cannot hinder your free will and His concern is for your spiritual progress …. therefore He cannot leave you in spiritual adversity and must draw your attention to the fact that you are in danger through earthly adversity. All these warnings are only love for you, and His will is that you completely surrender to Him, that you call upon Him for help and He can send it to you through His messengers …. that you only desire Him …. then you will already be helped, and you will resist evil and submit yourselves to divine will, and the latter will guide and direct you if it finds no resistance. As easy earthly days are granted to man, he is also in danger of not paying attention to his task, and God regocnizes this danger and wants to counter it effectively, and so divine love is also then endeavoured for you when it seems to you that it has left you. For God wants to increase the desire in you, He wants you to send your thoughts to Him, that you call upon Him in heartfelt prayer for His help …. and your prayer will be answered ….

Amen

The embodiment of beings is a grace and of such tremendous significance and yet it is far too little regocnized as such. And precisely this ignorance is the reason that the time of embodiment is not utilized properly in the final stage, when the human being is given reason and intellect in order to reflect on it and thus to benefit from correct thinking. It is not the being’s own merit to have reached that degree of maturity which now allows embodiment as a human being. Rather, this degree of maturity is also a gift of grace from the divine creator, Whose love for His living creations wants to draw them back to Himself. It is this greater than great love that allowed the work of creation to come into being, precisely because of the many beings that can develop to a certain level through creation. However, this would not be possible without divine help, thus God bestows all His love upon the being by enabling it to develop to the highest level of maturity and allowing the being to embody itself as a human being for this purpose in order to receive and utilize all means and benefits from the eternal deity. God gives man unlimitedly everything that helps him to ascend …. As a human being the being can receive all help, thus the divine gift of grace will never cease or be given to the being to a limited extent as long as it remains on earth. Although the being was already cared for by God’s love before the time of embodiment as a human being, it had neither reason nor intellect in order to be able to regocnize divine love, whereas the human being is able to regocnize God’s infinite love through God’s grace and therefore also grasps the obvious grace which is bestowed upon the being through embodiment. Although it is not possible for people on earth to grasp God’s love in all its depth, the fact that man is able to think at all is one of the lord’s greatest proofs of love. For even thinking is a sign of divine power …. If the being is able to think it can enter into contact with its creator, and if it strives for this connection, thus makes contact with the highest being, it can already shape itself into the highest being of light on earth. God Himself therefore gives it the opportunity to shape itself according to His will. And this is a gift of grace of unprecedented significance, that God offers the being the highest …. the opportunity to become a child of God …. And that He gives him all means to do so, that is, that He bestows favours upon the being again and again just in order to win it back and to be able to call it His child for eternal times. He even goes so far in His love that He also offers the favours to those who do not consciously desire them by commissioning His messengers to bring light even though it is not desired …. This grace cannot be measured, for He imparts something to people which requires the greatest desire …. He instructs His messengers to awaken this desire in people and obviously works to bring knowledge of His infinite love to the ignorant …. And this work is grace …. grace that comes to all those who use their intellect and reason to want to fathom their purpose of existence. God is close to them with His grace so that the embodiment as a human being will bring them final redemption …. so that the embodiment on earth leads to the final goal, to complete liberation from the form ….

Amen

The steadfastness of faith lies only in a constant attitude which is turned towards God …. It is inevitable that a person will waver if his train of thought moves away from God. Faith is always the result of a deep connection with Him, for the feeling of belonging to Him makes it impossible to waver. The more intimately the heart beats towards the divine father, the stronger and more unshakeable is faith. The child’s intimate relationship with the father must therefore never be disturbed. For then divine strength can also flow to the human being without interruption, and this strength first expresses itself in a strong faith and joyful confession of faith to the world around him and in a joyful affirmation of life. His gaze is clear, his train of thought is in accordance with the divine will and everything he does and does not do is likewise in accordance with God’s will. The child seeks the closeness of the father, and this also brings him complete peace and security, for all his thoughts are then rightly guided. And every separation from Him will be noticeable to a person who longs for God …. for once he has been allowed to enjoy the security of the father’s heart, every state of separation from Him will be perceived as torment …. He lacks security, persuasiveness and trust …. he lacks faith …. he is weak and without inner peace, because he lacks the closeness of the father …. And this is often the result of a lack of trust in God in earthly adversity. Every earthly need should be confidently presented to the father in heaven. However, if the human being allows himself to be overwhelmed and, instead of joining God all the more intimately, loosens the bond that connects him to the father in heaven, the strength will also diminish and this will result in a weakness of faith. You can achieve nothing without God …. With God you will win every battle, without God you will lose. Earthly things separate you from God time and again, and yet this is your own fault, for God does not command your thoughts, therefore do not let them wander away from Him and turn to other things, for this will not satisfy you, you will walk along in constant restlessness until you have found your way back …. Trust in God is faith …. and a believing earthly child should not allow itself to be shaken by anything, it should surrender itself unconditionally to the father in heaven, only then will it feel the strength of deep faith in itself and accept all the difficulties in life without worry, for they are always touchstones of faith that must not cause a person to fall.

Amen

This is your final destiny, to revitalize everything that exists in creation, to constantly create and shape something new in accordance with God’s will. And this will mean bliss for you, you will revel in supreme delights and radiant light will be your fate. For only now will you be able to grasp the eternal deity in its greatness, only now will you be as it is the father’s will …. Become perfect as your father in heaven is perfect …. What now presents itself to you is supreme bliss, for the father withholds nothing from His true children. You will therefore be in a state that includes everything in itself …. purest love and therefore light and strength to the highest degree, i.e. knowledge and power to such an extent that nothing can be unrealizable or unfinished for you. And now consider the divine creative will and that you likewise carry this will within you and can therefore create and shape it entirely at your own discretion …. Thus the being is in a God-like state, it has completely united with God, the unification has taken place, it is no longer an individual being but completely merged with God, yet the consciousness, the thinking of an individual being remains with it, and this increases its bliss. The unification of infinitely many beings in a state of maturity is an increase of spiritual strength, and the individual being is thereby able to achieve incredible things …. It can therefore utilize the power from God at any time without limitation and will always work in accordance with God’s will, but always according to its own thinking and discretion. The union with God …. the union with spiritual power is no restriction of the own freedom of will, only with a perfect being the will is not different than the divine will is. For everything has its origin in love …. every work of creation arose in purest love, for the being can only be creatively active when it has completely moulded itself into love. Thus all creations emerged from love, and everything that has its origin in love must carry divine will within itself because God is love Himself. So everything that is united in God must also be in the same will, because divine love is the basic element of everything that is created. The creation of new beings and the creations beneficial to these beings must therefore trigger unimaginable delights, for love gives birth to everything and love is the epitome of bliss. And divine wisdom is required in order to mould all creations according to plan …. But light and knowledge are likewise inherent to perfect beings, for otherwise the being could not be perfect. The union with God has therefore brought perfection to the being and it now certainly works on its own authority, i.e. according to its thoughts and feelings, but receives light and strength, i.e. wisdom and power, continuously from the divine creator …. it therefore carries out God’s will for its own happiness because this is its actual purpose ….

Amen

There must be a sounding board, so to speak, if the tone is to sound audibly, and the same applies to the inner voice, which is only ever audible when the human being is receptive to the subtle sound of the divine voice. The instrument …. the human heart …. must first reproduce the sound that the divine master Himself makes resound and that touches the human heart full of intimacy and melodiousness. And the more the instrument is cared for, the sweeter the sound that is elicited from it, and thus every earthly child can hear the sound of the divine word if only it willingly opens its heart and desires to hear the divine voice. And yet it will only very rarely be that God can speak to people in this way. For no-one seriously desires to make use of the divine offer, because the human being does not have the desire to hear what the eternal creator wants to convey to him. And without desire it is again impossible to make divine truth accessible to him. And almost all people are in this situation today. They could hear the word of God, and indeed it can be received by them directly or also through transmission if the human being himself is not able to make his heart receptive. And then the human being is incapable if his will does not cause his heart to serve as a sounding board …. i.e. to listen willingly and joyfully until the voice resounds in the person’s heart to the indescribable joy of the listener. For God will speak to everyone who wants to hear His voice; He will place the gift in everyone’s heart to receive mental transmissions as well as resounding words and convey them to the brain, where it will first be processed intellectually and thus be conveyed to the person, either as clear thoughts or deeply felt words, which have no other purpose than to bring light and truth to people on earth, insofar as this is requested ….

Amen

It is up to the human being’s will to gain insight into the kingdom which is otherwise closed to him because it exists outside of everything earthly. He only has to adjust himself likewise extraterrestrially …. he must send that which is supernatural in him …. the spiritual spark which God has placed in his heart as a particle of Himself …. to where his actual home is. The spiritual within him strives towards the spiritual outside the earth, and this spiritual guides it and leads it into eternal glory. The spirit in the human being can therefore see everything and nothing remains hidden from it, yet it is not always possible to make what the spirit sees accessible to the human being’s soul …. The soul must first have developed its senses in such a way that it is able to take in what is offered to it. It must first desire the spiritual before it pays attention to the earthly. And this requires a strong will on the part of the human being and a deep desire for spiritual impressions: But if both are present, then there are no limits for the human being. He can let his gaze wander into that land which is unimaginable in its splendour. All earthly concepts such as constraint, limitation and imperfection are eliminated. What presents itself to the eyes of the spiritual observer is fullest harmony, noblest lines, indescribable in its colouring, light and lively and not bound to the narrow limits of earthly life. Everything is light and bright, and nothing inharmonious disturbs the graceful picture …. It is a harmonious peace and yet nothing dead …. it breathes life and love, it is incomparable beauty, and it is the most varied impressions that the spirit of God wants to convey to his soul, but which cannot be grasped by human senses. It is therefore extremely difficult to reproduce what has been seen, for man’s imagination is too small to be able to form a true picture; yet what the spirit has seen once remains in him and he repeatedly seeks out those realms in order to gather new impressions. Sometimes it succeeds in conveying such impressions to the soul, and this always happens when the desire for it has become so strong in the human being that he completely forgets the earth. Then the separation from the physical bondage is easier and the receptivity for spiritual images is greater. These are unimaginable glories which the human eye could never behold, because splendour and magnificence would blind it, and only a very high degree of maturity can endure conscious beholding. Man must have lost all connection with earth, then it is possible for him to have a look into those spheres already in earthly existence. But in order to grant people a small insight into those glories, God instructs His messengers to awaken the gift of imagination in some people in order to be able to reproduce approximately in pictures what they have seen spiritually and conveyed to the soul, so that the desire for those glories is awakened and increased. However, the beauty of the forms, the radiant splendour of the colours, the diversity of the wonders of creation cannot be reproduced, for the boldest fantasies do not even come close to those glories. And so it is only possible to tell the children of earth to a limited extent, and only the deepest desire for it removes the veil that is spread over everything as long as the being still belongs to earth …. Yet it is possible for the sincerely striving person to lift this veil and consciously look into the kingdom beyond, but then his departure from this world is not far away ….

Amen

Words cannot express the love with which the father in heaven cares for His children. He is always and constantly concerned about His creatures and only ever wants to gain their love so that they will come to Him and remain with Him for all eternity. And His concern is especially for those who unhesitatingly allow themselves to drift with the flow of time, who join these currents regardless of the great danger and lose the firm ground under their feet …. faith in God, which is his support and support in earthly life. Their will is neither turned towards good nor evil, they do not seek evil, but neither do they resist it when it approaches them …. Nor are they obviously turned away from good, but neither do they themselves engage in works of love; they are neither hot nor cold, but without any urge for activity of their own. And so they have no goal in mind, and their life is empty and would be lived uselessly if the father in heaven did not want to disturb them from their idle rest …. These people often have to be hit very hard before they lose their equanimity and adopt a different way of thinking. Only the deepest loneliness and most painful suffering can leave an impression on these souls, and often the only result is indignation or bitterness. For they close their eyes and ears to the suffering of their fellow human beings and nothing that concerns them arouses their compassion …. So God has to make Himself known in a way that means hardship and sorrow for people. For His most heartfelt love is not regocnized and the human being can no longer find his way to Him in carelessness. And the path he takes leads astray. Nameless misery will therefore befall those people who do not yet regocnize the hand of God in the adversity of the time …. nameless suffering that they feel in themselves. And the lord will wait until the call from the human being’s heart reaches Him, and that hour will be blessed and spiritual awakening the result of such suffering in which the human being found the path to God. For only now does he begin to strive and to think of his soul. He no longer drifts will-lessly in the maelstrom of life, but has solid ground under his feet …. he has become a believer and now seeks God always and everywhere ….

Amen

Undivided attention is necessary in order to be able to receive the following proclamation: Divine Wisdom has intended an event the effects of which will be dreadful. A disaster shall develop in the very near future which can neither be prevented nor diminished by way of earthly efforts. Countless spiritual beings will move into action and, on behalf of divine instruction, turn the interior of the earth into upheaval, the earth will split open and masses of water will burst through; an act of destruction of catastrophic proportions will take place which will bring indescribable misery upon the people who will be affected by it. And this will happen very soon …. For you humans will only deem yourselves powerful and safe from all danger for a little time longer; you only observe world events around yourselves and feel secure and out of danger …. yet you forget that there is a Power in charge of everything in, on and above the earth.

And since you forget the One Who reigns in accordance with His will, He shall speak to you through the forces of nature and you will have to listen to Him, for you will be unable to escape His voice. You pay no attention to instructions from above, suffering on earth doesn’t change your thinking, yet you will be unable to drown out the divine voice since it is stronger than all the noise in the world. And therefore it is proclaimed to you in advance, so that you will recognise the Lord when His voice resounds …. Admittedly, the world does not want to hear anything about it, it will try to control the great adversity with purely earthly means and constantly negate divine activity. And many will agree with this opinion and thus only see the misery but do not recognise the divine will which, for the sake of humanity’s improvement, will expose whole stretches of land to destruction. And this time it will announce itself by the fact that a country will be affected by an unmerited pestilence which will subsequently get this country into very serious difficulties, and since no earthly help will seem possible anymore God Himself will step into action and instruct the elements of nature to intervene in earthly measures.

And whoever deemed himself great before will become small, for he will need all his resources in order to rebuild what was destroyed. People will be needed for the reconstruction of his own country which, having previously flourished, will be desolate and bare and require many workers. And this is the time when people will reflect on different questions than before. For anyone who survives this time will truly enjoy God’s favour …. He has testified to being united with the Lord …. in greatest distress he had sent his thoughts to the Father in heaven, and the Father answered the prayer of a human being who had recognised and found Him in most severe adversity. After all, He only sends severe suffering upon humanity so that it shall find its faith in God again …. And thus He will also have to forcibly raise the utterly destroyed faith again by demonstrating His omnipotence to people and showing the world that He is Lord over heaven and earth ….

Amen

“Oh, that I had a thousand tongues to praise and glorify the goodness of the lord!” Thus it resounds in the ranks of the heavenly hosts, for the love and goodness of God is infinite. And thus He bends down to all beings full of mercy, and He descends into the kingdom of darkness and seeks to bring redemption to the souls languishing there. And His love shows them the way upwards, He constantly considers them with His grace and sends them His messengers, the bearers of light, so that the desire for light will also be awakened in them …. He comes to meet them with all love and grace and preaches the gospel to them …. He demands nothing more from them than love …. they are only to make up in eternity what they have so far neglected to give love …. and they will be redeemed from all torment. And in the deepest depths there are souls that still carry love within them, which was only previously directed towards God’s opposite pole. To reverse this love, to persuade the beings to actively help is the ongoing endeavour of all beings of light who are in God’s will …. And God’s will is redemption, not damnation …. And thus His ray of grace also shines into the utmost darkness, and the strength of His love seeks to enliven souls willing to receive, and if these souls offer no resistance they feel the benefit of love and become soft and yielding …. and they desire the light …. their will becomes active …. And so, after a long struggle, they detach themselves from the darkness and strive towards the light. The light bearers regocnize every impulse of such a soul and try to accommodate it, partly by encouraging it and partly by hindering it. For such a soul cannot be left to its own devices. It is still weak and often wavering; it must be guided gently and carefully to where it becomes strong and willing in itself. And God’s immense love considers every soul according to its feelings …. for He tries to prevent every relapse. He wants this soul, too, to experience His great love and mercy in itself and likewise join the number of those who praise and glorify Him. He is in perpetual care for every single soul, that it may reach the heights, that it may receive light and regocnize its creator in ever brighter surroundings …. They should love Him, not fear Him …. They are to desire His grace and willingly serve Him …. They should likewise become love-receiving and love-giving beings who participate in the great work of redemption in the beyond and again bring souls up from darkness to the light. This is a work of love and can never be accomplished in any other way than through deepest, most unselfish love …. because only love redeems, and God in His infinite love will not let any being fall prey to eternal darkness …. And therefore everything that serves Him should be redemptively active, i.e. give love to all those who are of a dark spirit, for every spark of love enlightens their spirit, and only love is able to banish the darkness, only love is the light that points upwards …. And only love imparts the strength to enter the path upwards. And that is why you, who are willing to love, descend into the darkness and seek to redeem souls there …. Bring light to those who walk in darkness and always remain in love, for love is strength and beings lack it, and therefore you should supply it to the beings so that they, too, will ascend ….

Amen

Spiritual beings are connected to each other by heartfelt love, and one is always ready to actively help the other in bringing salvation to unredeemed souls, because every mature spirit is living in love and unable to feel anything but love for every single being. When a being in the beyond wants to bring spiritual help to its protégé on earth many spiritual beings are instantly willing to take care of this person on earth, and an eager desire for his soul sets in. An indescribable number of obstacles have to be overcome which require the spiritual beings’ patience and endurance, and during their pursuance of such a soul they make every conceivable effort in order to establish a spiritual bond. Many futile attempts are made before they succeed in motivating people to accept their transmitted thoughts, which are frequently rejected by people in as much as everything of a spiritual nature is laughed at and ridiculed. But nothing may prevent the beings from tirelessly continuing their attempts, and they do so with utmost joyous devotion. It is, after all, for the sake of helping the spiritual beings who are entrusted with the protection of people, because their love for them urges them to help. And, at the same time, every accomplishment generates a lot of joy in the beyond, because these beings know the suffering of the unredeemed soul. And if these souls are not taught the Gospel until they are in the beyond their resistance will not lessen until they have become aware.

In contrast, earthly life can achieve a relatively rapid change of mind if the beings in the beyond make the most of every opportunity; and that they do so is guaranteed by their immense love for each other and their love for people. Whatever they can do in order to support each other in their spiritual work for the earthly children who are entrusted to them they will do gladly and joyfully, and thus they serve each other with love. And the strength of this love transmits itself to people, so that once in a while a sudden change occurs in them …. that they, for no obvious reason, will contemplate spiritual matters and thus listen to the whisperings from the beyond, and then the beings’ effort will be successful. Because loving action overcomes the worst opposition …. it just has to be applied with perseverance and patience. And this is guaranteed by the great love of these beings, for they are concerned that every person should reach awareness, and this concern spurns them into tireless activity and work to bring the kingdom of God close to people’s thoughts ….

Amen

Thus the spiritually perfect is incessantly working for the redemption of the imperfect, and love is always the motivating factor, because these beings’ state of maturity also requires a sphere of activity, and this is what they are looking for on earth as well as in the beyond. Because unredeemed souls are suffering indescribable hardship which cannot be alleviated without active help. Consequently, the beings in the beyond will most eagerly try to make contact with needy souls, and although it is frequently laborious and unsuccessful it may not be abandoned. For this reason the beings need to have an excessive amount of patience and love so as not to slow down in their work. Sometimes a simple reference to eternity can suffice to make the soul reflective, and then the connection has been made, since the friends in the beyond can then transmit their thoughts to such a thoughtful person.

However, if the being only has materialistic thoughts, on earth as well as in the beyond, such hints will fade away unheard …. it is always merely living in the present and does not consider its hopeless condition in eternity. Such souls are extraordinarily hardened and have to be made aware of their situation through suffering and pain. And even then the beings of light will not leave them, unrecognised by the poor souls but forever willing to help.

The beings on earth, too, are permanently surrounded by the bearers of light who would like to direct their train of thought towards the spiritual world. But their love is frequently rejected …. their help is turned down, and the human being remains in the same state which will result in a pitiful fate for him in the beyond one day. In the knowledge of this impending hardship the beings will not leave the people who are entrusted to them for as long as they live on earth. They are also frequently the cause of earthly hardship and suffering if they cannot find any other means to assist the soul. They are the cause of failures, ruined hopes and all kind of disappointments which are only ever meant to bring the futility of their earthly endeavours to their attention and to guide their thoughts into another direction. They recognise the worthlessness of everything the human being is trying to achieve and since it cannot be explained to them mentally, as it is firmly rejected, people often have to be forced to sacrifice what they are trying to achieve.

This task is not easy for the perfected beings because their emotion is love …. and love always wants to fulfil and give, it wants to give happiness and bestow joy …. and now has to take away and cause pain to the people they love. But the suffering awaiting them one day will be far greater, and in order to avert this from their protégées they often interfere in earthly life destructively. The final release of such beings can only be achieved by suffering if love is not awakened in them by seeing the suffering of their fellow human beings. This can very quickly result in a change of mind. Their own suffering will not always lead to awareness, but having to witness the pain of their fellow human beings will make a person thoughtful and bring him closer to understanding. And then the danger for this soul will have passed, because the heart of a person who is able to love is not hardened and the influences of the beings in the beyond will not be unsuccessful. Hence people’s suffering cannot be avoided as long as they haven’t become conscious of the fact that they are living on earth in order to educate themselves for eternity. Only suffering will bring this thought close to them, and it is the only means of help available to those who are fighting for the souls ….

Amen

You should be concerned for the living, but not weep for those whom the lord calls away when the time comes. And so you must submit to the divine will and take comfort in the lord. For God is love …. He does not send you sorrow and affliction so that you may suffer, but for the sake of your souls, which are to mature through suffering. And if you lose someone who is dear to you, your pain will be alleviated if you remember Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross. You too take the suffering on your shoulders, if you bear it for the lord …. And for the sake of humanity the lord endured suffering, but you bear it for those to whom your love is directed, if you bear it devotedly and for the lord’s sake. Therefore do not complain and do not call the soul back to earth when it has left the earth valley, for the hour of freedom has struck it and all earthly heaviness has fallen away from it. And this shall be your consolation, that God’s love is infinite, that this His love concludes life when the time has come that He calls it to Himself into His kingdom …. The path on earth was not easy, now the soul detaches itself from earth you should not be sad, for it exchanges earthly life for a peaceful life in eternity ….

Amen

The chained being always has the will to free itself as long as it feels its fetters as compulsion, for then it is still aware that it is in a situation which does not correspond to its actual destiny. It longs for something other than its present state, so it still regocnizes itself as a bound being and strives towards freedom. It will now only have the urge to improve its situation and therefore also use its will to make itself free. Whereas a being that is completely under the control of evil has no desire to free itself from it. It takes its state for granted, it is not aware of its actual destiny, its will is unfree and only ever carries out what the dark power commands it to do. This state is therefore so bleak that it keeps the will bound and makes it difficult, if not impossible, to regocnize the situation. In this state the human being is completely content, he lives his earthly goals, he feels neither compulsion nor lack of freedom, he is not inspired by the feeling of having to rebel against the compelling power, for this leaves him complete freedom in earthly life, fulfils his earthly desires and thus places him in a contented state which makes no change seem worth striving for. Thus the will is bound, the adversary has completely seized it …. And therefore the battle for such souls is extremely difficult. For the human being’s will has to turn towards God, only then can help be sent to him from God. And the human being always desires what is obvious and desirable to him …. what he can seize earthly …. Denying God, however, is something purely spiritual and can only be felt when earthly possessions are no longer sought. However, the latter can only be achieved in such a way that the power of the adversary is visibly shaken …. that is, matter, possession, is proven to man as destructible …. that he regocnizes that what his heart longs for can fall prey to destruction if it pleases a higher power. A higher power must therefore be proved to him, a power that is opposed to his desire …. a power that can destroy what he has built up. And he must want to subordinate himself to this higher power out of the realization that it is the true goal that has been set for man from the beginning. Only then will the human being’s will begin to wrest itself from the adversary’s power, and then he will receive help from above ….

Amen

The working of the divine spirit remains incomprehensible to people as long as they themselves do nothing to awaken the spirit within themselves. They cannot imagine that there is a hidden ability in the human being which only needs to be trained …. to bring about successes which cannot be achieved in a natural way. And yet anyone could easily create the proof for themselves if they had the serious will to test this working of the spirit. The success is so unusually valuable that no effort would be too great and the attempt should not be shied away from, which would provide man with the proof. But rarely will a person put all his will into fathoming such things, for the desire for truth is not predominant enough, and thus a person does not desire to know and pays too little attention to extraordinary things. He is also too far removed from love, for love and the desire for truth cannot be thought of without each other. He who is in love is seized by the divine spirit and must therefore also seek the truth …. while a person whose heart is untouched by love has no desire to fathom the inexplicable. Rather, he flees the truth and everything that could lead to it, for since he himself feels nothing divine if he is not active in love, he does not seek God either, he does not seek the light …. he does not desire to know, he wants neither enlightenment nor truth …. And divine activity is therefore something completely incomprehensible to him. And therefore only a few will be informed about it, and these must have already awakened their spirit, otherwise the working of the divine spirit in the human being would also be an empty concept to them. And again, this shows how little this precious gift is requested and how rarely it can therefore be distributed, for the power of the Holy spirit will only be poured out on those who make God their own, for their nature will be love …. They will have a desire for truth and request the strength from God, and their thoughts will then be well-organized, for the spirit of God will pour itself out over the earthly child and thus the spirit from God will work in a visible way. And the visible success is a knowledge that far surpasses human abilities, an absorption in the spiritual and the gift of foresight in the divine will. Anyone who does not regocnize the working of the divine spirit will also doubt these predictions, after all, he is unaware that the spirit’s strength protects the human being’s thinking from error and thus the earthly child, which abandons itself to the working of the divine spirit, cannot accept anything which goes against divine will …. that these predictions can therefore be fully believed as long as the human being desires divine strength and does not deny the working of the divine spirit ….

Amen

It is an extraordinary grace to be allowed to receive the word of the lord, after all, it also gives the human being on earth extraordinary strength to strive upwards. The slightest hint, if it is followed, promotes the soul in its development, and it is spared so many hours of doubt and weakness of faith, which a person has to overcome who does not really find the inner connection with God. For the reception of the word is always only the effect of the most intimate bond with the heavenly father. And the father will always consider the children accordingly who come to Him in all intimacy and who feel the need to communicate with Him in the most childlike way. The strength of the desire for God is always the yardstick by which the strength from God is also measured out to him. And man can achieve incredible things the more intimately he enters into contact with God, for he also receives incredible strength. Completely ‘abandoning himself to the lord’ will result in being completely imbued with divine strength, and then it will be possible for the earthly child to achieve what is inconceivable for his fellow human beings. It only requires the will to serve God and to help fellow human beings in order to be honoured with the extraordinary grace of receiving divine words. For this will testifies to the fact that man endeavours to fulfil God’s commandments …. to love the lord God above all things and his neighbour as himself. He desires, as it were, the word for the salvation of the souls of his fellow human beings, he regocnizes the spiritual adversity and wants to remedy it by enlightening and influencing his fellow human beings. And this will earns him the divine gift of grace, for everything that wants to serve God is welcome to the lord on earth as in the hereafter. Only serving in love brings redemption, even though the battle on earth for the salvation of erring souls is often a difficult one and the good will of man usually encounters hard resistance. God’s love is constantly directed towards these erring souls, and if the person is likewise in love and only makes himself available to the lord as a mediator, God’s love can work through this person without appearing to the person as a compulsion to believe. For it would certainly be easy for God to make His will audibly known to people, but the consequence of this would not be those who voluntarily desire Him but creatures who fulfil His commandments in fear and blind obedience and who could never attain childship to God as directed beings. But if God uses a mediator to whom He reveals His will …. these revelations on the one hand make fellow human beings suspicious, but on the other hand do not force them to accept them as divine revelations, then man is thereby left with freedom of will; no compulsion makes man unfree, and this is of utmost importance. Every person must come to the father of his own free will …. he must seek God, then God will also let Himself be found, and indications of God’s eternal glory are offered to man enough so that he can send his thoughts to the creator and also desire Him …. The awareness of being able to receive strength from God is something exceedingly glorious, it lifts the human being above the heaviness of earth and his earthly life is truly easier than without the utilization of this divine strength. So many are called …. Everyone has the opportunity to utilize the power from God, to make contact with Him and thus to be a bearer of divine power …. However, only a few are chosen …. few take advantage of the divine offer and willingly receive the power through their desire for the lord. And so God can only consider a few who intimately unite with Him and, as it were, declare their consent by wanting to work with Him and for Him. Serve …. Serving God and your neighbour …. is your task in life, which you can accomplish easily and effortlessly if you make use of the strength from God. And God shares it with everyone who wants to receive it …. You cannot measure the grace you are all entitled to, which you need only make use of and which brings you incredible blessings …. which guarantees your higher development and can still shape you into a being of light on earth if you regocnize and desire it as such …. And if you receive the word which informs you of divine will, you will also simultaneously receive the strength to fulfil this will. You should not worry that you will be unable to fulfil what God asks of you, for He Himself is with you in the word, He strengthens and fortifies you and enables you to do everything that corresponds to His will. And that is why you should submit to everything He asks of you without hesitation. For if only you want to, you will succeed in everything that corresponds to divine will. Incredible things can be achieved by a person whose will only applies to God …. who only strives towards Him, for God’s wisdom and love regocnizes his will and gives him strength for his plan. And the received word will always be the greatest source of strength …. Anyone who accepts this within himself will become tangibly aware of the strength; his faith will grow stronger, his energy will become lively and his will will always and constantly submit to the divine will, and thus the human being will already be able to have a redeeming effect on earth on himself and his fellow human beings ….

Amen

It is unspeakably difficult to make people realize the error of their thinking if they lack inner humility. Nothing can be explained to them because they are convinced that they understand everything and therefore do not want to be taught. And yet they are far removed from correct thinking. And even if they are provided with unusual evidence, they ignore it with recklessness because they feel uncomfortable delving deeper. For they must admit to themselves that their way of life is not what God requires, and any confirmation of what they fear is unpleasant to hear. These are the people who lack the sincere will to reach the heights. They regard earthly life and its fulfilment as their first duty and only remember their creator in times of need. But they do not know the right worship of God in their hearts and therefore do not regocnize the word of God for what it is …. as a mission from heaven, offered to people in love, which imparts strength and grace to them unmeasured, which can never rob them of time and strength but always supplies them with it. It is certainly understandable that doubts about the truthfulness of these words can make people disbelieve and that they regard such messages with a certain caution, yet they likewise refuse to subject them to serious scrutiny, and thus they are also unable to judge correctly and stay away from the divine word when it is brought to them in this way. And only the greatest love and patience can bring it about that also those take note of the content of the transmissions from above. They will indeed continue to meet with rejection, but if they can be presented a change of thinking can nevertheless be successful. Only with such people a long time will pass before they are seized by the extraordinary grace, and this time is regrettably lost for eternity ….

Amen

Nothing in the universe is hidden from the lord. There is no work of creation that is not regocnized and willed in its finest components by the eternal creator; there is nothing in it that is beyond His will. There is nothing arbitrary, nothing that has come into being without the will and knowledge of the lord. Consequently, nothing can follow its path of development without being constantly looked after by the eternal creator, since nothing happens without His will and nothing can violate divine order. For the entire work of creation is determined by the creator’s will and no power has authority over the least of what God has created. It is therefore to be understood that every process on earth as well as outside the earth takes place according to God’s will as far as it is naturally recognizable …. i.e. processes that have nothing to do with human behaviour, which require the free will of man. God’s will is expressed everywhere, in every plant and every flower, in every living being, in every natural process, in everything that takes place in, on and above the earth, in which human will is not involved. However, the opposing power cannot test itself in the works of creation, it is completely uninvolved in them, even though it may seem as if evil forces are at work, insofar as works of destruction or natural disasters reveal the activity of a great power. This opposing power can only influence the will of man to create means for himself and then make use of them in order to be able to likewise have a destructive and annihilating effect. However, these works of creation arise through the free will of human hands and are therefore neither willed by God nor blessed by God, as they can only ever be attributed to the influence of evil power on human will. For God does not use such means to destroy. His will is sufficient and all elements are subject to Him …. But nothing can ever correspond to His will which is directed against His commandments …. to harm or destroy the life or possessions of one’s neighbour …. Everything is created by God, and human hands should not interfere with His will of creation. Everything is given by God, and the will of man should not destroy or take possession of his fellow man …. However, where the act of destruction is necessary, God’s power and might is truly great enough to fulfil the necessity ….

And thus He will turn His face away from every work of destruction which is carried out by human hands and which is intended to harm fellow human beings. It is His will that you should love one another and endeavour to love one another. You are to avert all harm from one another, but not inflict it on one another. And if one breaks another’s law, if he forces him to defend himself, he commits the greatest sin, for he does not respect the commandment which the lord gave to mankind first and foremost …. He loves neither God nor his neighbour and uses his will to serve the adversary, who sows hatred and unkindness in order to poison souls. He has entered into his service and likewise sows hatred and unkindness among people. The creator’s love brought everything into being, the adversary himself has no power over God’s works of creation, thus he utilizes people’s free will in order to destroy divine creations. And God does not command man’s free will until the time of maturity has come …. until the hour has come when the lord puts a stop to the adversary’s activities ….

Amen

A boundless confusion of thought allows the evils, which are based on greed and lust for power, to get out of hand. And the commandment of love is completely disregarded. The demon has seized the world, everything is greedy for possessions and does not shy away from cunning and trickery in order to attain them. Man does not pursue honest endeavours …. there is nothing righteous before God, and God can never give His blessing to what the world strives for. For the world only strives for earthly power, prosperity and possessions. And all this is part of evil, and therefore man only uses the means of evil, such as violence, lies, hypocrisy and deceit …. But God’s will is to serve one another in love, not to demand or force anything, but to ask and give …. People should live side by side in peace and use their earthly existence to care for their souls. But how can the soul be thought of if man lives only to gain earthly good? He uses all his strength to increase matter, which he is supposed to overcome, and deprives the soul of this strength, which it needs for higher development. The soul’s immense hardship is further increased by the unlawful possession of earthly possessions if they are acquired unlawfully. For the spiritual in that matter rebels against the souls which take possession of it unlawfully. For the spiritual senses all injustice and its indignation oppresses the human being’s soul, as it were, even if it does not clearly realize this. In addition, immature spiritual substance, which was released during violent destruction that was not willed by God, will join this outraged spiritual substance in matter and thus also burden the soul. Therefore, illegally appropriated goods will never bring blessings to those who disregarded the divine commandment of love and sinned against it out of self-interest and greed. God has given every work of creation its time in order to bring the spiritual within it to maturity. All measures on the part of man, which aim at a violent premature destruction of it for selfish reasons, are to be condemned, because they result in a release of the spiritual in an immature state, which has a damaging effect on man, provided God does not protect his own from the influence of it. This influence will make itself felt after a certain period of time until the immature spiritual substance is banished again in a new external form and this offers it the opportunity to mature again. But the soul of the one who has caused such an interruption through unkindness will one day have to atone for it severely, for its development is inhibited and often even completely called into question. The time on earth is not used by it for higher development but merely to increase the earthly …. to increase that which has held it in thrall through endless times …. The soul does not redeem itself from it, but desires it anew, and this is its spiritual decline ….

Amen

The train of thought of a person whose spirit is still unawakened usually moves in districts which are of no spiritual value whatsoever. He will only be occupied by questions which are intended to be fathomed for the purpose of an improved earthly life of well-being, for only that which promises some kind of earthly advantage will ever be drawn into the circle of his mental activity, and things which concern spiritual experiences will never touch the thoughts of a person who is in the midst of earthly life. And thus these thoughts are exclusively the results of a bodily function, these thoughts are the evidence that thousands upon thousands of people can naturally use a gift given to them by the creator but that the results correspond to the person’s free will …. that he can therefore use the gift purely physically and then also produce purely earthly results, whereas a person whose will calls for God works with spiritual support, that is, whose thinking ability is combined with spiritual strength and the results therefore understandably also have to be spiritual. The thoughts are now organized from the spiritual side, they no longer proceed arbitrarily but are completely adapted to the person’s desire as to which area he desires to gain insight into. It will be possible to unhesitatingly accept the thoughts that arise in a person when he deals with spiritual questions. Consciously striving for and demanding spiritual strength is the surest guarantee for thoughts that are now rightly guided, for truth and deepest knowledge. And conversely, it can be assumed with complete conviction that all thoughts in a worldly direction originate from the human being himself and are therefore also passed on as human error. Again, it takes a divine spirit to be able to separate truth from lies. Every worldly thought is like an obstacle in order to reach the truth, and therefore the divine spirit must be at work if a clear separation of good and evil, of truth and lie, is to take place. And on the other hand, the divine spirit assures the earthly child of right thinking and it need not anxiously ask itself to what extent its thoughts are right ….

Amen

The complete liberation of the spiritual from the form must be preceded by a complete subjugation of the will, because the rebellion of the will against divine will has brought the banished state to the spiritual, consequently this state must be cancelled through subjugation, therefore the spiritual must be redeemed from the form, which has held it captive for immemorial times. Thus the rebellion against divine will was the cause of the banished state, the spiritual substance which emerged from God sinned against its creator by not recognizing divine will and opposing it with its own will …. and it had to atone for this sin through endless times through complete bondage …. It was allowed to take the path upwards in a certain lack of freedom of will until divine love gave it free will again and left it up to the being to decide in favour of or against God again …. And thus the being is given the opportunity to free itself from the banished state, which was the result of its misused free will, if it now uses its will correctly. And this ‘right use’ consists of the complete subordination of its own will to the divine will …. And therefore it seeks divine love to reveal Itself to all Its beings, so that the unredeemed spiritual carries a desire for this love …. and feels the urge within itself to be united with it …. and now devotedly submits itself to the divine will and gives up all resistance against God. The being will therefore remain in the form as long as its will does not completely confess God …. and be free from the moment of submission of will. For even if earthly life had not yet ended, the spirit is nevertheless free from the start and can flee the form as often as it pleases. The spirit is no longer banished from God in the form, it can strive upwards where and when it wants, because its will has sought and found God, because there is no longer any danger that the being does not respect the divine will and could rebel against God again. The moment of liberation therefore occurs when the being has sacrificed its will, when all volition is directed towards uniting itself with God and when its own will unconditionally subordinates itself to the divine will. Subordination to the divine will is therefore the only thing the being should strive for …. (interruption)

Without external coercion no church can be formed whose only endeavour is to gain recognition before people. For where this intention is the basic idea, the simple endeavour to serve God will have little effect, for this will make no impression on fellow human beings, whereas everything that is outwardly recognizable is effective towards fellow human beings and is therefore regarded as solely valuable and successful. However, the more a person focusses on outward appearances, the more he submits to the demands of those who want to be leaders and have made it their task to recruit followers for their cult …. for their outward worship. It is incomprehensible, but unfortunately too often the case, that external worship is something that people do not want to do without; they need certain actions that put them in an elevated state in the first place, and they are difficult to convince that it is precisely this cult that prevents them from being truly connected to God …. They cling to it with tenacity, and in the end they only serve the cult and not the eternal deity. They need outward confirmation that they belong to a church …. They form a tight circle and erect a wall to the outside world, for they only regard their fellow human being as their equal if he submits to the same external forms and conforms to the rules that apply in their circle. And this is of the greatest disadvantage to the human soul. External service is of no value to it; the human being can comply with every regulation decreed by people, but this will not benefit his soul’s maturity in the slightest, for a certain compulsion underlies every fulfilment. Something is first demanded of people that makes the path to God more difficult …. Human commandments are fulfilled first, but God is not sought enough. And therefore a circle whose togetherness is outwardly recognizable will always fail to reach its goal …. It will take him a long time before the essence of the deity becomes comprehensible to him, for he will always be anxious to stand out in public. He will not seek contact with those who remain distant from their congregation but will keep away from them or always emphasize his efforts to the outside world. For he seeks to assert himself and show off to those who do not agree with him. He who believes himself to be in the centre of knowledge must also be in the midst of his fellow human beings, he must not want to limit his knowledge through the close association of individuals and separate himself, i.e. want to establish a community that only embraces those who share the same knowledge. Rather, he must willingly pass on what he believes he possesses, he must seek to enlarge this community, but quietly and without ostentation, without external forms and without compulsion …. he must only serve …. but only to his fellow man, to regard non-symbolic acts as valuable and ultimately to regard these acts as emblems of belonging to that community. Everything on the outside is only a shell, but the core should be desired, people should unite to serve God and their neighbour …. then they will also be in the right knowledge and have a beneficial effect, even if no outwardly recognizable bond ties them together. They only need to be of the same spirit, regocnize themselves and their unworthiness, seek to ennoble their nature and help their fellow human beings to the best of their ability. Then it is truly a church that serves the lord and lives and acts according to His will ….

Amen

Recognizing the plight of a spiritually degenerated humanity, you will also be able to understand world events, which are both the cause and the means to remedy this plight. There is an extraordinary low insofar as no efforts whatsoever are being made by people to prepare themselves for a spiritual life after their earthly demise. And the consequences of this indifference are unforeseeable. It is irresponsible if a person does not endeavour to save his soul. For his carelessness will result in his spiritual abilities remaining undeveloped and thus the human being will live without being able to record the slightest spiritual progress, and his life will not have been lived appropriately. In contrast, the spiritually striving person is offered a natural balance; he lives his life consciously and therefore it will not be without joy either, only these joys are shaped differently than those of the earthly striving person. He finds comfort and edification in the divine word, he only now finds the right purpose in life, and he does not lack anything external because he does not strive for it …. He possesses inner contentment, he is not frightened by earthly hardship, for he desires other than earthly goods. Therefore, world events will not affect him to the extent that they disturb his inner peace; rather, these world events will help to strengthen his faith. But where there is no such attitude, world events are the cause of complete spiritual decline. Man never wants to regocnize the spiritual, he does occasionally get in touch with those who know, but only out of self-interest. He only hopes to gain knowledge that he can utilize well on earth, but never considers his soul. He believes that he can penetrate an area without prior knowledge and a spiritual attitude, but this requires work on himself and activity of love, and this view is erroneous. For whatever experiences he gathers will never allow him to reach his goal. He cannot utilize this good, he lacks the key that first unlocks the spiritual realm for him; he receives something that is not comprehensible to him and is therefore completely unimpressed by it. But he will not be able to use what he has received because spiritual knowledge is only comprehensible if it is striven for from the heart, i.e. if the human being makes himself worthy of receiving it. The hardship on earth should now awaken that drive in man which only strives for the spiritual …. adversity should educate people in such a way that spiritual interest awakens in them and the desire to educate themselves in spiritual knowledge for the sake of truth …. Then this adversity will also be a blessing for people and the spiritual low will be remedied, for this is God’s only purpose, that the human being regocnizes his task on earth and fulfils it ….

Amen

God is love …. and love often leads you in marvellous ways so that you will reach Him. And one day you will regocnize His love and His wise guidance, and you will praise Him and thank Him without ceasing, and you will pronounce His name in blissful admiration and remember the time on earth with immense gratitude. And the heavenly hosts will join in the song of praise which will resound to the constant honour of God …. this divine love looks after you and gives to everyone what is beneficial for the salvation of his soul. And now you will understand that you are never without divine care. His will guides you and His care is only for you, who are His creatures. In this certainty you can go through earthly life carefree, for every step is mapped out for you and determined by His infinite love for you. And if only you raise your eyes to Him, every step must also be a blessing for you, it must bring progress to the soul, it must be done, as it were, in order to become that which is your final destiny. For your earthly life is only one phase in eternity …. It is the necessary course that leads from one stage to another …. Earthly life cannot be ignored, just as everything that exists must be …. because the divine creator in His wisdom regocnizes it as a means to an end, as the only path to the heights which signify unimaginable glories. And this walk through the valley of the earth is an act of greatest love and mercy …. by offering the beings, who are immensely far away from God, all possibilities to approach Him until the final unification. No being can arbitrarily reach the highest maturity from the lowest level, i.e. even God’s infinite love cannot reduce this distance of His creatures because this would completely contradict divine wisdom, divine laws and divine order and thus could not result in anything perfect …. Every being must develop itself upwards, and God’s love gives it every conceivable opportunity to do so. It wants to make supreme happiness accessible to the being and therefore constantly endeavours to educate the being such that it can partake of this happiness. And everything that now serves the being for its higher development is assigned to it by God’s love. Only divine love allows the being to suffer, for every suffering reduces the distance from God …. And every approach to God is a state of happiness …. So the being must accept suffering in order to attain happiness. It must go through a limited time of being bound in order to be able to live unlimited times in freedom. It must also have passed through the work of creation in order to have absorbed divine strength and thus to have increased itself …. it must have striven for the union with spiritual power in order to be able to be made happy by the fulfilment one day. The being must have regocnized its origin from God, desire to return to Him and fulfil the conditions which result in the union with the eternal deity …. And thus divine love constantly endeavours to bring redemption to everything that has emerged from it ….

Amen

The process of purification to which every soul is subjected will last until the earthly change has been completed, for until this is finished the soul is not free of dross and consequently not yet worthy of approaching the highest and purest being, the eternal deity. For every imperfection separates the being from God, who is perfection itself. And thus the state of perfection must first be reached before the fusion with the eternal deity can take place, the being must have put away all impurity, it must be without error, it must have completely purified itself, and for this the path on earth was indispensable …. it was the only possibility to shape the being as it has been destined to be since eternity …. into a God-like being, into a being which is absorbed in love, which serves in love and now in turn carries out the same mission of bringing imperfect beings to perfection. Until this process has been fully accomplished, union with God cannot take place …. but God longs for His living creations, the father wants to win His children, and thus His infinite love seeks to shorten their path. He provides them with every opportunity to rid themselves of the dross, He sets them tasks the solution of which will bring them progress, He offers them aids which likewise accomplish a purification in a shorter time, and in the final stage He leaves it up to the being to redeem itself from the unfree state …. He gives it the power of realization, He grants the being all help and only demands free will from it …. but in return assures him the most luminous state in the beyond. And thus it is precisely God’s love Itself which has also imposed those states on the human being which would have to cause the being to strive supremely if its will likewise wanted to escape the banished state. And again God has to send suffering to man in order to steel the will to become free from it. The only purpose of all suffering is to make the being long for God, since only then can divine grace come into action and without grace the human being’s strength to liberate himself would be too weak again, and the will will only become active when it regocnizes the meaning and purpose of what it is striving for. Since the human being’s will is challenged he has to be influenced by suffering and adversity such that he turns to where final redemption beckons him …. to the eternal deity, Which in Its love always seeks to shorten the being’s state of suffering ….

Amen

My spirit shall announce this to you that you are in grave danger of losing your life if you do not believe My words. My love offers you help and you reject it …. My love sends you the bread of heaven to strengthen you in the battle against all evil …. My love warns you and wants to guide you to the good …. My love gives you clarification that you are going wrong and my love wants to bring you light …. And you pay no attention to this love, you reject it, you do not take note of My word, you do not change your life and continue to walk the path which leads astray. And thereby you put your life in danger, you don’t consider that you are heading for eternal ruin. For I cannot protect you from it when you yourselves desire it. And your actions prove that you desire it. And all My messengers endeavour in vain to teach you right thinking; your resistance grows stronger and stronger, you close your eyes and ears so as not to hear the call from above. You bind your spirit and do not give it freedom, and therefore you will never become knowledgeable, for I can only give My spirit to those people who open their heart and desire My spirit. Only to these can I send the strength and the world can never hear My voice. Yet to you, who close your heart to My voice, it will have to sound loudly and threateningly, and this voice will cause you terror and horror if you do not want to listen to the voice of love. If My loving admonitions go unheard, My call will have to resound loudly and audibly to you, but to your horror …. I only wait a short time and try to win all those who do not resist Me beforehand. Yet the hour is not far away and all My angels are instructed to serve Me …. Everything that stands in love is active and tries to bring help to people, and wherever there is need they knock and try to turn people’s thoughts towards Me …. And those who remain with Me I will support with My strength and My love …. And their fate is truly better, even if it seems unbearable on earth, for they have found Me and I will not let them go …. For My love seeks to save all souls which are not yet completely against Me from the power of evil. And I bless those who find Me in their adversity, for they will gain eternal life if they lose their earthly life, they will enter the land of peace where all adversity is taken away from them ….

Amen

He who fulfils My will is the one I love, for his love belongs to Me …. And so I send him My spirit and am therefore constantly with him. For My spirit is the emanation of My love, My spirit is will and strength at the same time, My spirit is always and forever the emanation of Myself, and thus I am with the one who desires Me and My spirit …. And I never leave him, for with his love he gave himself to Me, and thus I give Myself to him through My word. Whoever now truly desires My word, his heart longs for Me, and this desire testifies to his love, thus I Myself can come to him because he loves Me dearly. For I do not want him to remain lonely, I want to be with him and he shall feel My closeness; I want that no more suffering shall oppress him, I want to be his support in every adversity and My consolation shall refresh him if he needs it …. And thus My word shall be his comforter, for I Myself speak to him and am with him in spirit …. And all of you who walk on earth should desire this spirit of Mine. For if you have My spirit, you have overcome. If you desire My word you will seek the connection with Me …. and being in close union with Me will earn you My fullest love and you will be safe in My love. You are not lonely and abandoned, neither are you helpless and weak, but you are strong if you have My spirit. The outpouring of the Holy spirit is My visible sign that I will not leave you defenceless if you ask for Me and My protection. I have assured you of My protection, I have told you that the father …. love …. will not abandon you to your fate if you love Him, i.e. if you keep His commandments …. And if you believe My words and desire My love, I will send you My spirit, which will guide you into the truth …. For your faith and your love shape you such that I can take abode with you in the spirit, that I can shower you with My grace in abundance, that I can be with you in the word and bring you strength, comfort and light unmeasured …. And so My spirit will enlighten you and you will be given all the gifts of heaven …. you will become knowledgeable, you will stand in fullest truth, and your earthly path will truly be a walk entirely according to My will …. You will keep My commandments because you love Me ….

Amen

The human being’s thinking apparatus resembles the blank pages of a book as long as it is not active, that is, as long as the intellectual capacity is not developed yet, thus as long as the human being is not yet capable of formulating thoughts …. At the tender age of infancy, the thinking organs are not yet active and it requires a certain time until the human brain starts to take in outside impressions. And this happens as follows: The human eye imparts an observed image to the human being’s thinking apparatus, the brain, and this begins its actual activity by allowing the imparted image to take effect on a highly sensitive retina. This receives the image and conscious impressions occur which emerge in the human being as thoughts and effectively are thus retroactive effects of the image in the human brain …. Every impression, in turn, makes itself identifiable on the hitherto empty space of the cerebral cortex and can remain indelibly engraved for long times …. but it can also become unrecognisable through new impressions and vanish into the unconscious mind, hence no longer entering a person’s consciousness. As long as the human being is alive, constantly new layers keep forming for the purpose of receiving and reflecting new impressions. However, the sensitivity increasingly lessens, therefore the images will no longer stand out so clearly in the receptive area and therefore are no longer able to impart the impressions to the thinking apparatus as strongly, which manifests itself as forgetfulness, as less intellectual capacity and as a reduction of receptivity for impressions which require a certain amount of concentration. Then the thinking apparatus will only work slowly, the external impressions are no longer capable of causing increased activity; the images will no longer be clearly imparted to the cerebral cortex and the whole mental activity starts to slow down …. The human being will no longer be able to effortlessly and easily recall individual occurrences because the images have become indistinct and blurred, nevertheless, they will be able to describe earlier occurrences precisely because these images are indelibly and clearly inscribed in his consciousness and can even be brought to light from earliest childhood, because the thinking apparatus can be impressed by these clear images and thus every image appears in the form of thoughts.

The process of mental activity can be likened to a constant diving-down and fetching-up …. where it concerns earlier experiences. Countless images are engraved in countless thin layers, every empty and blank space has been covered by impressions imparted by the human eye, and countless spaces have been covered by mental images which a penetrating image from outside made appear again. The mental function of the designated organs is therefore an inherent activity, brought about through external impressions and implemented through the person’s will to allow this or that image to take an effect on him. These images need not always penetrate him through the eyes, spiritual images can also trigger the same process, which the human being conjures up through his will and which thereby trigger an associated mental activity. These organs are therefore first prompted to become active through a person’s will, and the thoughts subsequently take the direction which corresponds to the person’s will. Purely earthly interests and imaginations will, understandably, only impart these kinds of images to the cerebral cortex, and thus the mental activity will therefore express itself such that only thoughts which correspond to these earthly notions will dominate a person. The human being’s train of thought is always in agreement with his will …. The will determines his mentality ….And this is why the human being is also responsible for his thoughts, since it is up to him to impart images to his spiritual eye, regardless of what kind they are. But he should not forget that too many earthly images reduce the capacity for impressions and that it is therefore to his own disadvantage if the mental activity reduces accordingly and, in the end, is no longer receptive to spiritual truths, i.e. mental transmissions. All thoughts will therefore only ever express that which moves a person most …. and thus the human being, having been furnished with all abilities by the divine Creator …. which also includes the mental activity …. is fully responsible for his thoughts, because it is up to him to formulate them according to his will ….

Amen

It is a futile battle which the people of the world are waging against each other, for it will not result in a satisfactory outcome. The Lord of heaven and of earth has decided that this shall be concluded in a different way to that which the world is hoping for. But this end will be indescribable. The battle noise will be drowned out by God’s voice resounding from above …. It will cause tremendous confusion amongst people since no human command will be able to stop it, and people will be powerless and will have to submit to everything that is sent to them by the Lord. And then it will be left up to each individual person to recognise the hand of God and submit to it or revolt against his personal fate. For it is intended that people’s thoughts shall be forcibly directed towards God, and blessed is he who finds this path and recognises God as the Originator of all happenings and commends himself to Him and His mercy.

Yet there will only be a few, for people are spiritually deluded, their modern explanations have made them lose faith in a Being Which determines everything on earth, and their lofty attitude makes it difficult for them to find the way back to God, and this spiritual arrogance will be their downfall. Only someone who feels small and powerless and calls upon God for help will keep his life, even if he will physically lose it …. Yet anyone who believes they do not need God’s help will forfeit his mortal and spiritual life …. And even if God allows him to keep his earthly life, it will only be an act of greatest mercy so that he shall still gain realisation on earth after all …. For the Lord knows the hearts of people, He looks into the furthest corners, He recognises every stirring and will not let anything perish that can still be saved. And anyone who calls upon the Lord for help within the midst of terror will feel a wonderful calm enter his heart, he will suddenly realise the worthlessness of earthly life if it is not accompanied by profound faith, and this realisation will let him willingly surrender what previously appeared desirable to him.

He will readily submit himself to the Lord and accept what he receives from His hand …. life or death …. However, he will only surrender his body in order to awaken to life in the beyond. And thus his departure from the world will not be his ruin but his resurrection into a better life. Divine will puts everyone in their place, He takes a person from the world when the time for his end has come, and He returns to the world those whose earthly life is not over yet …. For nothing happens arbitrarily but everything is determined by God’s wisdom and love. Yet if a person cannot recognise God’s hand even then, his soul will suffer serious hardship, for it will have no other means of salvation …. It has infinitely extended its distance from God during its earthly existence and strives towards the state of banishment again; hence its life on earth is utterly pointless, since it does not recognise God. And for the sake of such souls God will let His powerful voice be heard …. But if this call also dies away unheard, the fate of these souls will only be eternal damnation ….

Amen

Without prior knowledge, the person whose spirit is well-organized receives astonishing knowledge as spiritual property, and this is proof of the activity of foreign spiritual forces. This treasure, however, cannot be unearthed if the will to receive is not strong; thus the complete opening of the heart is the first condition. And the power from God will now pour into an opened vessel. It is available to the earthly child if it is asked for and received. The power of the Holy spirit is not an illusion but something truly tangible which the human being can acquire if his will is directed towards it and his heart desires it. For the human being’s thoughts are then organized in such a way that they can be written down in order to be conveyed to humanity at the same time. Everything spiritual has a penetrating effect …. It does not come to an end somewhere, but constantly propagates itself, a power is passed on that emanates from God and always and constantly has a vitalizing effect. Everything that is the work of man has an end, but that which emanates from God can never have an end …. It makes its way through countless entities, can be received always and everywhere and must always have a vitalizing effect. The power of the Holy spirit imparts the word of God to people …. Thus the word of God must have eternal duration, it can never ever pass away, for it remains eternally what it is …. divine power, the emanation of divine love, which can only be imparted when it is consciously desired. And therefore the power of the Holy spirit cannot be denied, for the evidence of its working is visible and everlasting …. Everything the spirit has taught from God is written down and continues to work as strength …. It revitalizes the human being, who in turn desires the divine gift again, who opens his heart and allows the radiation of divine love to penetrate him …. He will feel the same power, his thoughts will also be well-organised if he is receptive and in love …. He will now also be able to draw from the fountain of life and absorb wisdom and grace. And thus the word of God …., which is received by an earthly child willing to receive and in love …. always works in the same way …. It imparts the strength from God to the listener if he receives it with a hungry heart. But it will make no impression on people who are spiritually unawakened, who request neither divine strength nor grace, for the spirit from God cannot yet be effective in them; they accept the words as empty sound and remain completely unimpressed ….

Amen

A new generation will feel the effects of the present dis-spiritualized time, and this generation will be aware of its task and regocnize the consequences of its actions and thoughts. It will experience the beginning of a spiritual age and will have to assert itself in a world of cynics and mockers …. The latter still has the upper hand, for before divine truth breaks through and is unquestioningly accepted by humanity, the battle against everything spiritual begins. This battle results in a clear separation between those who have regocnized the purpose of their earthly life and those who only see it in the acquisition of earthly goods. The earth will no longer harbour exclusively materialists but the spiritual will be cultivated because the power of knowledge expresses itself in people, thus the desire for truth is also predominant. People have become thoughtful through the phenomena of the time; the purpose of life on earth is not plausible to them if only earthly endeavour is to be man’s task in life. They are not satisfied with this and research …. And since they consciously or unconsciously abandon themselves to a higher being …. therefore seek enlightenment not from people but from God, from their creator Himself, they will also receive the right enlightenment. And they will strive …. to live spiritually, regocnize the truth and be willing to serve. They will despise earthly possessions, try to redeem themselves and their environment; they will live their earthly life consciously and regocnize with utmost clarity the wrong path of those who work against them. And the activity of the beings in the beyond will result in great success, the spiritual state of maturity will be higher since God’s grace will be utilized and people will request strength from God in prayer so that it can be sent to them unmeasured. And there will be peace where love is …. a peace of heart that cannot be shaken by discord in the world. Trust in divine help will keep every worry and fear away from people, faith will be strong and love for God will even be prepared to endure hardship and sorrow if it serves the salvation of the soul …. For people have seen the dreadful consequences of a deprived life and regocnized its causes …. They now strive for a higher development of their spirit …. They regocnize the consequences of distance from God and try to reduce them …. They no longer walk in the darkness of the spirit, but take paths of light in intimate union with God ….

Amen

Those who bow in humility before the lord are accepted by Him, for He shares His grace with those who submit to Him. And He lovingly inclines Himself towards them. He hears the prayer of the afflicted, He hears the sighs of the afflicted, and He wants to deliver them from their distress. For a believing, humble heart arouses His favour and thus He hears their plea ….

Amen

The lord’s ways are marvellous. He guides the hearts that beat for Him towards each other, and when they are united in intimate love, He enlightens their spirit and is in their midst. They will stand in the truth, they will regocnize the light that shines for them …. They will feel the lord close to them and their hearts will rejoice and be glad because of the visible proof of grace of divine love …. for they regocnize Him as such and are filled with divine strength. And what they do and say carries divine will within it. The soul regocnizes God’s guidance and willingly places itself under His protection. And now it must never fear that it cannot do justice to God’s will, for with the realization it also receives strength and easily overcomes all obstacles …. And thus the lord wants you to find each other, you who are of the same spirit …. He wants you to be a support for each other, that you unite in faith, He wants you to stand together against the enemy and fight in the spirit of the lord. For He needs willing fighters, He needs people who are devoted to Him, for whom the teaching of Christ is not just a form but an inner experience …. He needs earthly children who are willing to love and serve, who stand by each other in the difficult battle that the world will still announce to you. And He Himself will assemble His army and His small band will successfully fight for the lord, for they will fight with God and for God …. God’s power is truly great enough to be able to defeat the enemy, yet the time of maturity must have come before the reapers can start their work …. And so you should prepare yourselves for the time when the lord needs you …. so that at the time of harvest everything that wants to serve Him will be ready for Him. For many reapers are truly needed, but if God Himself directs and guides the work, it will be accomplished by the earthly child who wants to serve for the glory of God ….

Amen

The reception will not be without disturbance as long as the earthly child does not oppose it with all its will …. A little while longer and the word of the lord will be fulfilled who says: Not one stone will be left upon another …. Everything will be drawn into the chaos of desolation, both spiritually and earthly. It will be a time of terror for all those who desire to live in order, for everything will be thrown off its usual course. And anyone who is still spiritually unawakened, who has not regocnized that only the peace that comes from above can bring true tranquillity, will be burdened by the hustle and bustle of the world, it will inhibit and depress him. And yet this time of suffering and spiritual pressure has been destined for eternity, as it is the only way to transform wrong thinking. And therefore human will alone is the cause that this plight is alleviated or comes to an end. He only needs to surrender himself and the oppressive adversity will be remedied, for what the human being has conjured up through his wrong will will change immediately if this wrong will is regocnized and changed to the best of his ability. The human being’s soul will certainly not thank the will one day that it first considered the body and let the soul starve. And this was therefore the wrong will of man who did not regocnize that the soul should first be thought of before the body comes into its own. And this wrong will is now the cause of all the tribulations of time …. The cause must therefore be regocnized and then the will must become active to remedy the distress of the soul. It must try to make amends for what it has caused so far …. He must enter into divine union by consciously striving towards God. He must transform himself, i.e. try to bring all his thoughts and actions into harmony with the divine will, which demands of him that he loves God above all else and his neighbour as himself. If he observes this commandment, his spirit will also be awakened and he will clearly regocnize the purpose and also the blessing of the suffering that has affected the world and also himself. It is a pitiful state that keeps the world bound today …. the wrong will appears so strongly, and yet only a few regocnize the cause of it, and thus the misery cannot leave them until the actual purpose of having brought people to think differently has been achieved. And therefore the coming time will still bring much misery over mankind, because the eternal divinity does not want to leave them to their self-chosen fate. And the endeavours of all willing helpers are immense in order to shorten this dreadful time by trying to influence people’s thinking. For the lord of heaven and earth sets all spiritual forces in motion in order to initiate an action which inevitably has to lead to the right realization if the human being does not offer open resistance and rejects God’s help and grace. For He wants to help humanity to bend its will of its own accord and to surrender to divine will. Then the time of need is over, for trust in divine help gives it the authorization to intervene and the human soul is saved from the dreadful danger of destruction ….

Amen

Do not resist the thoughts which surround you. Know that spiritual beings constantly look after you, that they try to supply you with spiritual strength, that they want to convey to you what is right, thus truth …. that they want to direct your thoughts such that they will be a blessing for you, for if you think correctly you are seized by divine love. Divine love now has power over you, while the adversary’s power over you has been broken …. And this is unspeakably important for life on earth. Standing in the right thinking reduces the distance from God …. The consequence of correct thinking is that the human being’s nature is ennobled and God Himself can therefore take ever greater possession of the being because it surrenders itself to Him. For the human being longs for God if his thinking is right …. He is seized by God’s love, and this inevitably draws the being to itself, whereas distance from God means a lack of divine love. If a person’s thinking is influenced such that he cannot help but long for God, then this is a sign that those beings which try to impart thoughts to him are likewise connected to God, that they therefore try to influence people in a good sense and that therefore these thoughts can be willingly given in to, for they will have no other effect on the person than a good one. On the other hand, the human being is always in danger of wrong thinking if the object of his thoughts is not God but the world. For the world is the kingdom of evil, the world is the kingdom of the one who tries to separate people from God, who tries to increase his power and wants to direct the human being’s will in such a way that he fully and completely turns to him alone, i.e. desires everything worldly from the bottom of his heart. And this desire is the admission that the distance from God is right for the human being, that he does not suffer from it but feels comfortable and strives to come closer to the antithesis of God. And then the human being’s thinking is wrong, he does not give in to the influence of the good forces but willingly accepts the whisperings of those forces which are in the adversary’s service, which are therefore likewise distant from God and lack divine love. How unspeakably important it is to think correctly can be seen from the fact that the activity of the beings of light constantly consists of guiding people’s thinking in the right direction, for thinking correctly also means knowing …. to think right means to stand in the truth, and right thinking therefore also assures the human being the realization of everything divine. And he who regocnizes God correctly also desires Him …. he who desires Him reduces the distance from God through his very desire, for his will consciously turns towards God …. And thus, when the human being’s will is directed towards God, the spell that has weighed on the being for eternities is broken. The human being has passed the test of earthly life, he has returned to God of his own free will …. He has severed the connection with the opposite pole of God and has entered into an intimate connection with God. His thinking was right, he willingly gave in to those forces that are active for his redemption by absorbing their thoughts and allowing them to have an effect on him, thus making those thoughts his own. For what a person thinks determines his actions …. Right thinking will also make him act rightly, and right action is the fulfilment of divine commandments. Thus, man will always fulfil the divine commandments if his thinking is right, because he uses the spiritual power offered to him in the right sense, he uses it to serve God and his neighbour ….

Amen

It is unmistakable that spiritual forces can only be active where a direct connection is established with them. The will of both sides must always meet; in this case the will to give and the will to receive …. A gift that is not received can never fulfil its purpose. spiritual mediations that are neither desired nor accepted can therefore not penetrate a person’s heart and thus remain without effect. Contact must be established, without which a transfer of spiritual power is inconceivable. Since both the spiritual giving being as well as the earth being must agree in their will, but the giving being is always prepared to hand out spiritual gifts, the imparting of these is therefore only dependent on the will of the earth being. And again, this will cannot be forced to receive spiritual gifts. And thus this is the explanation for the fact that so few people are mentally instructed by spiritual beings …. that the working of spiritual strength is so rarely visibly evident and that this working is therefore always doubted despite the obvious evidence which consists of the fact that a person has acquired knowledge without any other means than the inner connection with good spiritual strength. Only the person who wants to receive can acquire such knowledge, provided he also fulfils the conditions which result in divine spiritual work. However, the preconditions alone are not sufficient for the acquisition of knowledge if the will to receive is missing …. for only the will establishes the connection, the will enables the earthly being to listen to the voice instructing it …. the will opens its heart, it declares itself willing, and only then will the gifts of the spirit flow to it. Only now does the spirit of God in man …. the divine spark of the spirit …. unite with spiritually perfect beings …. spirit strives for spirit …. The spiritual in man seeks to increase through union with likewise spiritual beings. Knowledge and realization will therefore be the result of this union of the spiritual, for the spiritual will try to impart knowledge to the soul. The soul of the one who has shaped his will in such a way that he declares himself ready to receive the teachings from above will regocnize its goal in the union with the spiritual, and it will now not oppose the striving of the spirit towards each other by determining the will to listen inwards. This is by no means a mechanical activity, but the will has to give its consent again and again anew if the spirit in man wants to unite with the spiritual carriers of light and power. The one-time will is not enough, but every reception of spiritual power from the will of man must be striven for, and that again requires power, which man can only request in prayer and which now comes to him in rich measure. The prayer for the strengthening of the will, for strength to fulfil divine will, will always be answered, for God Himself wants to convey the truth to people, thus He will also give every possible help to the human being so that he will increase in knowledge and the right realization …. No earthly child need fear to be too weak to receive the divine word, for what he lacks will be given to him through God’s love if only he sincerely asks for it …. and likewise the willpower will also be increased if the human being uses it to do justice to divine will ….

Amen
