Unlimited possibilities open up to the human being as long as he is willing to shape himself according to God’s will, that is, as long as he consciously works on his soul. From the hour of realizing that his purpose on earth is the higher education of his soul, his earthly course is an endless series of opportunities where he can attain this spiritual maturity through self-conquest and active neighbourly love. And so his earthly life will bring trials from the very beginning in which he should prove himself …. Nor will it pass him by without a fight, but it is precisely in the struggle that his will will be strengthened and his strength increased. So life will appear to him to consist of opposition and hardship much sooner than he will be able to indulge in unclouded joy of life. These are the first cliffs on which his little ship of life must not be wrecked; he must steer it round all cliffs with a sure hand and with faithful trust in God, only then will he prove himself and utilize the opportunities for higher spiritual development. Jesus Christ Himself made it a task for people with the words: Whoever wants to follow Me must willingly take up his cross …. He does not say that He wants to take away their cross, that He wants to relieve them; on the contrary, He announces to them that following Jesus consists of bearing the cross that He imposes on people. The unspeakable suffering that Jesus Christ took upon Himself was the atonement for mankind’s great guilt of sin. He bore His cross without grumbling or complaining. What He endured for mankind thus cancelled their guilt, as it were. Whoever wants to follow Jesus must therefore also atone for sinful humanity, i.e. bear the suffering that humanity has brought upon itself through sin. Love for one’s fellow human being should now move the person to bear suffering for his sin, i.e. to reduce the guilt of sin through suffering and thereby be active on earth in a redeeming way. And the loving person will also always be willing to do so, for his soul knows about the downtrodden situation of those who are entangled in great guilt of sin and wants to help them. And therefore every loving person will not rebel against divine will if the latter imposes a cross on him and his earthly life no longer passes by in quiet peacefulness. He knows that an existence without a fight would not be suitable for the soul’s higher development and thus he will not rebel either, even if the cross seems unbearable to him. And therefore the human being should not be despondent if his life appears to be more difficult than that of his fellow human being, yet God does not impose a heavier fate on the human being than he can endure, and it is the strength from God which makes this cross easier for him …. It is the supply of strength which man can consciously ask for, but which must also be asked for …. But then every cross, no matter how heavy it seems, is no longer as heavy a burden as before. But taking up the cross of Christ means submitting to everything that God sends upon man without grumbling or resistance. For the slightest resistance cancels out the working of divine power, and the human being must struggle hard so that he can remain victorious in the battle of life and already be able to be redemptively active on earth …. He only ever has to recognize God’s love in all suffering, in the cross imposed on him, which wants to let the human being attain spiritual perfection and is the quickest and surest way to take up the cross in all patience and submission to God’s will and to follow the divine lord and saviour ….

Amen

Whoever feels drawn to Me, whoever flees to Me in every adversity and tribulation, I will hear his pleas. For he recognizes Me as his father and his plea is childlike and trusting. And the father is always willing to reduce the hardship of His children, and thus I also want to save you and give you peace. It is only necessary for the sake of your souls that you come into distress so that you seek Me and your hearts cry out to Me. For only suffering brings you closer to Me. However, you will never be forsaken if only you do not pray to Me, if only you do not turn away from Me. And therefore always trust in My love and wait until help comes to you.

It is never man’s own merit if he reaches the heights, but it is God’s grace that brings this about. However, it must not prevent man from working on himself, he must never think that he does not need to do anything, but can only rely on the grace of God. He will only be appreciated by God’s grace if he proves through his deeds, his behaviour, his thoughts and actions that he wants to ascend. This will, which now lets him ask for God’s help in prayer, now earns him the grace which again brings about the perfection of the soul. Divine grace is therefore by no means a gift from God that is given to people indiscriminately, with which one person is given while another person has to go without …. No, divine grace is available to every person without measure. No human being will ask for God’s grace in vain. But it can never be imparted to a person without it being requested, and therefore the only merit of a person will be that he turns to the heavenly father again and again in prayer and humbly asks for His grace. Everything else will then be accomplished by God’s love itself in a person who thus surrenders his will to God and consciously avails himself of God’s supply of strength. And it is therefore wrong to assume that God bestows His grace on people at will …. This would be an act of the greatest injustice, for then only those people could ever be saved who were chosen by divine grace. Consciously striving for perfection would then lose all meaning, because the question could understandably be raised: Do I belong to those whom God has chosen for the eternal kingdom? …. Such a view would have to lead to the human being neglecting the work of the soul and only ever wanting to raise the objection that only divine grace can make him free, but that this cannot be attained, but that the human being must wait in peace and patience until God’s grace flows to him and, if this is not the case, he must perish eternally …. Anyone who holds this view is in a terrible spiritual condition. He must doubt God’s love, His goodness and mercy, he must also regard his earthly life as useless if God’s grace is not bestowed upon him …. And yet it is up to the human being himself to make unlimited use of divine grace. Every person is free to come to God as often as he wants, i.e. to request in prayer everything that is simply called grace. The more sincerely he asks for it, the more abundantly God provides for the earthly child and only then can he walk on earth in a way that is pleasing to God …. His way of life is therefore no longer his own merit, but the fact that he can lead it as he now does is now the work of divine grace, …. Every person can ask, so he will also receive according to his prayer. He will be granted God’s grace and will now successfully cover the path to the heights ….

Amen

How irresponsible people act towards their souls when they close themselves off to the right realization and reject all help sent to them. Every admonition and warning is in vain, they attach too little importance to their lives and also have no sense of responsibility. And yet God, in His longsuffering and patience, repeatedly endeavours to educate them to think correctly, but they do not recognize this. And the more stubbornly they close themselves to His word, the thicker the soul’s covering becomes, and it takes very strong shocks for this covering to burst and the soul to become free. The spiritual distress is far greater than the individual person is able to recognize. Only rarely is a believer present where several are gathered, and this believer is ridiculed where he should be heard …. Only rarely does the divine word penetrate people’s hearts, for the world wants to hear something else, it wants to be entertained in a worldly way, it wants to be distracted and enjoy earthly speeches, it does not want any teachings or references to the death of the body; it only wants to live, i.e. to utilize and enjoy earthly life. And the divine words are an obstacle to this, they inhibit the urge for earthly life, they inhibit the ecstasy of joy and curtail earthly enjoyment. The more limited people are, the more difficult it is to explain the divine activity to them, for then they have no understanding for spiritual experiences, and they now try to compensate for the lack of understanding with an increased desire for the world, for they perceive what is incomprehensible to them only as pressure and burden and want to escape this by paying homage to the world all the more. And without the will to recognize the truth it cannot be offered to them, and if it is offered to them then they do not understand it because they do not have the will to do so and the desire for God is only weakly developed in them. And therefore God must send them other admonishers who will silence all desire for worldly pleasures in them. He has to touch them harder because they do not pay attention to light touches, because they do not sense God’s closeness when He makes Himself known to them. And so an ever harder lot will be imposed on humanity and it will have to languish under the pressure and find no compensation in the world and its supposed pleasures. Life will be so hard to bear that true comfort will only be found with God …. in His word, which promises His love and mercy to everyone who turns to Him and surrenders the world ….

Amen

Visualize the greatness of the work of creation as much as you can and recognize the omnipotence of divine love in it; for everything you see was created for you, who are still in an imperfect state and therefore infinitely far away from God. But His love does not want to leave you at this distance and therefore created something as a means to reduce the distance from Him. Creation is a proof of His love and grace, for there is no other path for the spiritual substance which resists Him in order to lead it towards Himself than precisely the path through creation, which requires a certain submission to divine will and this already signifies an approach towards God. However, the will of the being is never forced to approach God. The being is only made aware of what it means to no longer be able to use its free will in order to spur it on to make use of its free will again. The latter must be accomplished by the being itself. Thus the approach to God has never been brought about against the will of the being, once it has taken place, but the being has decided to do so itself and has now allowed the will to become active. And in order to awaken in the being the desire for freedom of will it had to go the long way through creation and learn to experience the bound state as agony, for only then could it consciously strive for freedom. Every work of creation is therefore to be seen as a proof of God’s love, as it serves to redeem the being from its state far removed from God, which is neither happy nor satisfying for the being. That which is of God has divine feelings and divine tasks. And the fulfilment of these tasks triggers the highest sense of happiness. However, if the being is so far removed from God through its own fault that it no longer recognizes its task, then the feeling of happiness must also diminish accordingly. The being has therefore become imperfect, and the state of imperfection causes it torment. God’s love wants to guide every being back and give it its original fullness of strength again in order to make it capable of its actual task and at the same time to put the being back into the state of bliss. And this can only happen if the being itself relinquishes its will, which is wrong, and subordinates itself to divine will. But the being has lost its power of realization through its distance from God, thus it has to be made clearly aware of its wrong will, and this is why God let creation come into being, which binds the being’s will until the being feels the spell as agonizing and wants to be released from it. Then its will starts to turn towards God again and the distance from Him becomes smaller and smaller. And even if the work of creation appears to be a gagging of the will, this is nevertheless the only possibility to let the being feel and recognize the wrongness of its former will, for only the recognition determines the will to take a different direction. However, the will of the being can never be forced, as otherwise perfection could not possibly be achieved again. God’s infinite love is always and forever at work to steer everything that has fallen away from Him towards Him again, and everything that is visible to the human being as a work of creation only proves God’s great love for the beings which, through their own fault (their own will?), renounced God but can never ever lose their affiliation to Him, they are only meant to regain awareness of their affiliation to God. And this is the purpose of the work of creation, which therefore only expresses God’s infinite love, goodness and mercy ….

Amen

The product of the divine will to love must betray the wisest creative spirit in its genesis. The infinite number of works of creation bear witness to this, which, if man observes them attentively, reveal to him the truest works of wonder. God’s work of creation, broken down into the tiniest particles, would always show the same creations in miniature. Each work of creation is a world in itself, but it also contains everything that the universe contains. This is incomprehensible to man because he cannot see these miniature marvels with the naked eye. Although individual works of creation reveal the same to him, he considers these to be individual cases, but he is unaware that every work of creation is a miniature of God’s great work of creation and contains billions of such miniatures, which are only visible to the human being when he is able to see with spiritual eyes. Then his astonishment will find no bounds, and only then will he fully understand the greatness of the eternal deity, Who is able to create such …. The universe is infinite, i.e. it knows no boundaries, no beginning and no end. And the creations in it are just as infinite and unlimited. The divine will to love took shape and thus moulded itself into the most unimaginable works. And the smallest work of creation is carefully considered by its wise creator. It again encompasses countless creations that are not in the least inferior to the great works of creation, but are even more magical in their delicacy and therefore marvellous to behold. And every creation, no matter how small, contains living beings that perform the same functions in a world that corresponds to their tiny constitutions. And everything is subject to the same laws, everything is well thought out down to the smallest detail and is guided and directed by divine will. God is just as present in the tiniest grain of sand as he is in the entire universe. Not the slightest thing escapes His notice, and nothing is too little or too small for Him to take notice of. Everything, even the smallest thing, is the thought of God that has become form, which, once radiated, never fades away or detaches itself from God and is therefore always and constantly seized by the omnipotence of divine love and remains in existence for all eternity ….

Amen

The messages from above have to be written down unaltered otherwise human will disobeys God’s will. Each message has its purpose, however, the human being cannot as yet understand this purpose and if an

Amendment of a word results in another meaning the original purpose will be lost. God Himself reveals to the human being when he fails to comply with His will, when human inability had not received His Word as it was given. People are not authorised to modify the messages because their assessment ability is not sufficient to scrutinise a creation which is not just planned for the present time but is intended to survive future times. The human being himself may well have the best of intentions; however, he needs a certain degree of maturity to have the knowledge at his disposal which will enable him to make corrections in accordance with God’s will. Human knowledge alone does not qualify him to judge the substance of spiritual truth. The spirit of God only transmits the purest truth and if the human soul is not yet able to receive this truth accurately then its thinking will be guided in such a way that it will not transcribe an error. The arrangement of the words might not be accomplished to perfection but will never be completely wrong either. However, every human correction can incorporate error and therefore does not comply with God’s will. The less the receiver refuses to accept the message, the clearer the spirit of God can reveal itself. Hence all personal thoughts should be avoided where possible. The will to serve God is the best guarantee for correct, unrestricted reception and then the human being truly will not need to worry about transcribing anything else but God’s will, because God’s will protects his thoughts from error. Whatever God wants to create He will indeed also protect from transcripts which could divert the earthly child from the right path because it is His will to give humanity the purest truth and to instruct it correctly ….

Amen

The death of the body is the conclusion of life on earth and the beginning of life in eternity. These are two fundamentally different worlds …. The one, which belongs to the past and is also transient in itself, i.e. in constant change, is the world of God’s visible and tangible works of creation …. a world that is matter in contrast to the world beyond, where material creations do not exist but are only imagined by imperfect beings until the moment of final overcoming. The body of flesh required earthly, i.e. material, creations, as it itself was also such a creation. However, as soon as the outer shell of flesh falls away and the soul passes over into the spiritual realm, it is completely independent of visible works of creation, provided it has reached a certain degree of maturity. The present world is a world of desires …. Every soul finds what it desires, and thus life in eternity will be a paradisiacal state for the human being, provided that the soul wishes to dwell in paradise. For it can also desire that which is still very humanly earthly. But then the state cannot be called paradisiacal, for earthly desires eliminate such a state. In higher spheres, however, earthly-material things are no longer desired but are regarded as belonging to the past, and instead only spiritual good is sought. Spiritual good, however, are for the first time the currents of power which the being in eternity perceptibly feels and recognizes as necessary for higher development and longs for. In this world nothing is tangible or physically visible, but only visible to the spiritual eye, i.e. everything consists of ethereal substances, it is only recognizable in the life of feeling …. the degree of love of the being will, as it were, determine the spheres which are now the soul’s new abode. For when the soul is willing, it also receives, and now receiving and giving is a blissful activity for the being. It does not desire something tangible, but only something delicious, which is expressed in the life of sensation. And thus life in eternity is a constant influx and distribution of divine strength, only spiritual things are desired and received and the emotional life is developed to an unimaginable depth, so that bliss can take on ever greater proportions, thus there is neither a standstill nor a decline in what is the epitome of eternal life …. of eternal glory ….

Amen

It seems relatively difficult for people to recognize what is right as long as they only want to recognize the truth with their intellect. Whatever man does …. is to lead to the right success, then God must never be excluded. Therefore, a person cannot think correctly if he does not call upon God, as the truth Himself, for His support and grace. For even if he does not consciously abandon himself to the evil forces, they will always exert their influence and can do so as long as they are not opposed by the will to God and the desire for truth. Therefore, the human being who believes he can solve important spiritual problems without God will always be under the influence of evil forces whose aim it is to eliminate the truth from the world, who want to underlay everything with lies and error in order to block the path to God. The battle of evil against good is immense, and the battle can only lead to victory if God Himself is called upon to help …. Therefore, a person who is truly searching will never be satisfied with the result of his intellectual enquiry, for his soul senses that it has not yet found what is right, and it tries to make him understand his deficient state. For God will not leave an earnest seeker without help. He will always try to make the truth accessible to him, but God’s love must then also be recognized. A person must be prepared to subject to scrutiny even that which does not correspond to the previous train of thought …. His will must not be so strong that he is not open to instruction and believes that he has completed his knowledge. And only intellectual thinking is never a guarantee for pure truth, but if this thinking is entrusted to God, if the human being consciously establishes the connection with God before solving spiritual questions, he can accept his newly gained knowledge as truth with complete conviction, for God as the eternal truth protects him from accepting error. It will also be easy for him to recognize, he will understand what previously seemed incomprehensible to him and all doubt will be dispelled from his heart. He will now be convinced that he ‚knows‘ and will no longer need to fear that he is only guessing. And this inner certainty of standing in the truth also allows him to stand up with conviction for what he now recognizes as truth. To surrender to God without reserve, i.e. to present everything to Himself which the person deems worth knowing and to humbly ask for clarification, is the only guarantee for the pure truth, but the same spiritual result will never be achieved (gained?) in any other way, for only God can give out the pure truth and He does so to those who faithfully entrust themselves to Him and ask Him for clarification ….

Amen

Communal service to God can indeed correspond to God’s will if all people are simultaneously moved by the deep desire to contact the divine Lord and Saviour, and thus every person is also willing to serve God. But people are usually just observing a custom, a habit, which has been preserved over generations, consequently it is scarcely a heartfelt need. An action, which really should be tremendously significant for people, has become routine …. People just prepare themselves intellectually to make contact with God, i.e. they try to raise their thoughts to Him, and yet their heart need not be involved. However, the contact with God has to come from the heart. To enter into union with God is the state which should be the human being’s only goal in earthly life, because then he has awakened in himself the feeling of belonging to God, Whom he originated from. He had never been separated from the elementary power but had not realised it and thus felt far removed from it, whereas the conscious union with God will bridge the apparent separation and the being will recognise himself as eternally linked with its Creator. When true believers gather for a communal service their united prayer will reach the heavenly Father, and God will be well pleased.

But when people come together without profound religious faith and only for the fulfilment of traditional requirements, their thoughts will frequently wander and a deeply felt closeness to God is out of the question. People will certainly make an effort to receive the Word of God, but this, too, will be heard more with the ear than the heart and will only have a spiritually beneficial effect if the person endeavours to put it into practice. But usually people are satisfied with this brief period of communal church service and believe to have done their duty by attending, i.e. by having acknowledged God publicly. But God does not attach any importance to outward acts, He evaluates the heart’s longing for Him. And a heart longing to be with Him takes no notice of time and formalities, it will establish contact with Him as and when it feels urged to do so. It will seek God because of its inner desire and not in order to provide the world with evidence of its faith. And thus the only importance rests in the sincerity of contact between the human being and his Creator, and the communal service to God will be a congregation of completely devout people who are harbouring the will of unification with Him in their hearts ….

Amen

There are things which the human being is unable to explain to himself and which he therefore rejects as an unsolvable problem. He is not inquisitive and thus does not ponder them either, and since his will does not aspire to solve such things they will also remain inexplicable to him. However, what appears to be unexplainable cannot just be dismissed as ‘non-existent’ or be thrown into the field of fraud or sorcery due to lack of evidence. This particularly applies to all mystical phenomena which cannot be solved by human intellect alone and which are therefore unhesitatingly dismissed as a deliberate attempt of deception or a person’s morbid plan. Mystic phenomena can only be explained by mystics, i.e. only the spiritually aspiring human being can penetrate spiritual spheres. People’s mere intellectual ability will never be able to lift the veil, and therefore they will also try to destroy other people’s belief in spiritual matters, in spiritual activity. And this is what they will then call enlightenment and will thus be concealing what the human being should recognise as most important …. the working of the spiritual beings in the beyond who want to provide people with the evidence that life after death on earth is not over ….

O world of unbelievers and scorners …. Where a visible sign is offered to you, you try to refute it, and you are thereby refusing the spiritual beings’ access to you. With your wisdom and actions you intend to destroy the activity of these beings. It is more pleasing to you to ridicule the spiritual aspirations of profoundly thinking people in the eyes of the world, and are effectively locking your own entrance to the kingdom which is sending signs to people in order to make their recognition easier. And the working of negative forces can be clearly seen in people who, with absolute conviction, deny everything of a spiritual or supernatural nature. They speak on behalf of the opponent because he wants to destroy people’s belief in the continuation of life after death, in eternal life and the hour of accountability. And people support his will instantly and do not shy away from surrendering their faith, thus merely affirming what they can touch or feel but denying everything that appears to be supernatural. How highly the human being values his intellect …. and how little he will achieve with it if God Himself does not stand by him and guide him into enlightenment. Yet on the other hand, human intellect is decisive for humanity …. It unconditionally accepts what it is intellectually presented with. It frequently and without hesitation surrenders its acquired spiritual truths, because God’s adversary knows how to show his superiority by using convincing words. Hence he will find willing listeners everywhere, because the world prefers to hear that life after bodily death has come to an end. And it will therefore readily agree when expressions from the spiritual world are described as imagination, fraud or error and are therefore completely dismissed ….

Amen

The spiritual battle is making itself felt throughout the world, but is not yet being waged openly. A world view where the attitude towards God is only considered incidentally is already a suppression of what is actually the most important thing in earthly life. The consequence of such a world view must therefore be the fight against everything spiritual, for where the right relationship with God is not established, humanity is in bondage to the power that opposes God, and this determines people to fight against everything that is divine. People’s wrong thinking is merely due to the influence of this power, and the only protection against it is to call upon the good spiritual power, to call upon God …. But how can God be willing to help if this willingness of God is denied? …. And it is a denial of it if God is not recognized as an entity Which is in closest contact with Its living creations. This belief in an essential deity is tried to be taken away from humanity, and thereby the right relationship with God is also made impossible. These are the signs of the actual, i.e. public battle against Christ and His teaching. And this battle will take on such forms that the activity of the opposing forces will be quite obvious …. And therefore God gives equally obvious evidence of His working and His love for misguided humanity …. For this reason He lets His divine word flow to earth everywhere so that the few who still have the right attitude towards God will also recognize the consequences of them, that these few stand in truth and can stand up for God’s visible working and for His divine teaching with complete conviction. Such visible evidence is permitted because God’s adversary spares no means to oust Him from people’s hearts. God does not hinder the work of those forces, but equally sends out His fighters and equips them with His power. He gives the pure divine word there where man is willing to receive it and therefore descends to earth in the word himself to prepare his fighters for the fight which is meant for the spiritual. And it will turn out that the small band of God’s fighters is more powerful than the adversary, who certainly wages his battle with the support of all forces from the underworld but will nevertheless be defeated because God’s fighters have a strength at their disposal which far surpasses theirs. God does not allow Himself to be mocked, He is loving and merciful and He wants to come to the aid of people who err and fall short due to ignorance, but He will never allow the spirit of darkness to rule the world and it will now try to establish its dominion, thus the battle will now be fought and the confessors of the essential deity, the confessors of Christ, will truly emerge victorious from the battle.

Amen

It is not important what people think about a teaching that deals with the soul’s previous life if they only lead a God-pleasing way of life on earth. For them, knowledge of the time before earthly life is not absolutely necessary. However, people who live irresponsibly, who do not think of their souls and eternity and only consider earthly life worthy of attention, should be made aware of the consequences of their way of life and thus be presented with the knowledge of the unspeakably agonizing and endlessly long path the soul has already travelled and the consequences of an unused earthly life. The recollection has to be taken away from the human being but the knowledge about the time before the embodiment as a human being can be imparted to him because he is free to accept it or not. The unbelieving person will indeed deny the truth of it and he will not feel influenced by it. However, God sends him the warning so that he can somehow take a stand on it, either in the affirmative or in the negative. An unbelievable indifference prevails amongst humanity, life is taken for granted, but not the slightest thought is given to the fact that the human being also has a responsibility for the time of his earthly life, that he is expected to perform, that he is given a task which he has to fulfil …. And in order to awaken this sense of responsibility in him, he should know about his past life, as far as this is possible without coercion of faith. The thought of it can be an incentive to live more consciously, and therefore God imparts this knowledge to people, which can now be received by willing earthly children, yet again it need not necessarily be conveyed to all people if they endeavour to live pleasing to God without this knowledge. But to give people the recollection would burden them excessively and render them incapable of living their earthly existence, for it would then no longer be lived of their own free will but the human being would forcibly decide to live in accordance with God’s will, providing it were possible for him to look back on his long earthly life. However, if a person endeavours to lead a right life, the knowledge of his past life will not frighten him either, but will only increase his striving to meet the demands of life and to shape himself according to divine will. Admittedly, the human being is often reluctant to accept something completely unknown to him as truth, therefore the reasoning has to be conveyed to him at the same time, and then it will seem understandable to him that this is also only intended to be a means of help in order to lead misguided people back onto the right path of faith. And from this point of view it will also be acceptable to him what he is told about the soul’s continuation of life. Mankind, which is so distant from God, needs such means, for God knows about its adversity and therefore provides it with knowledge which is suitable to remedy the spiritual adversity. The will of man nevertheless remains free. If he is reluctant to accept the knowledge of it as truth he will not be forced, yet the time before the embodiment as a human being cannot be visualized to him in any other way than through such teachings which are imparted to earthly people with divine approval ….

Amen

Faith in the love, omnipotence and wisdom of God is absolutely necessary in order to be able to explain something that lies outside the natural. Everything that appears supernatural is doubted, i.e. the supernatural is denied and an attempt is made to present it as something natural that is at best beyond human knowledge. Only the deeply believing person accepts the possibility that it could be divine activity, because the love, omnipotence and wisdom of God is explanation and proof enough for him. And even if the human being appears to have faith, this faith is nevertheless not deep enough as long as he does not believe that God’s visible activity towards people is possible. People still separate earthly life too much from spiritual experience, they are still too much on earth to have an understanding for spiritual activity …. They certainly call out to God but when He wants to make Himself recognizable to them they flee …. Experiencing God is only possible when He is recognized without doubt. But recognizing Him without doubt means considering even the most incomprehensible to be possible if God wills it …. But man must not want to determine the divine will himself …. How does man imagine God’s love if It does not want to express Itself in greatest need? …. if It wants to leave Its creatures without help when they can no longer help themselves …. if It does not want to send comfort and strength to struggling people in order to prevent them from fainting …. And how small this love of His would be if He did not want to use every means to bring the earthly children back to the father …. And His omnipotence and wisdom will truly choose the right means and be willing and able to consider the earthly children in such a way that they can derive blessings for their souls from it. Everything that comes from God must therefore be supernatural. If a person recognizes God then he must not deny supernatural things either, he can only fear to fall victim to supernatural evil powers. But what these offer people is truly not pointing to God …. And if a person endeavours to fulfil the divine will, he does not call the forces of the underworld to him. These will indeed press a God-fearing person hard, but the will to God also gives him the power from God, because he expresses this will to God through his prayer and thereby requests the power from God. “Faith moves mountains ….”, says the lord …. but who believes His promises? God is love, and he who lives in love abides in God and God in him …. So if you believe these words, how can it surprise you that God Himself speaks through a human being? “I will send you My spirit, who will guide you into all truth ….” And if God sends it to you, you will not believe. Yet without faith you cannot be offered the bread of heaven, for you do not recognize it as such but want to see human work in it. And thus you cannot receive comfort and strength, and you will come away empty-handed and will have to fight hard in the adversity of the coming time. And again your own will is an obstacle, for it erects barriers which God Himself wanted to tear down in order to be closer to you in spirit. And you do not establish a living connection with Him, for otherwise you would have to recognize His voice when He speaks to you. You must allow all His words to gain life by obeying them so that the promises to you will also be fulfilled ….

Amen

The spirit of truth will be poured out on those people who faithfully fulfil what God asks of them through His commandments, for the lord says: “Whom I will send to you ….” And if He now fulfils His promise, then it seems unbelievable to you. And thus you do not attach any meaning to His word, you do not take it seriously or it does not come alive in you, it only remains an empty word which you only read according to the letter but do not attach any deeper meaning to it. What is now proclaimed to you from above should be proof to you that everything is fulfilled as it is written …. that only the human being himself has to do his part in order to be worthy of the divine word. He must come to a strong faith so that the living water can flow from this rock of faith. And precisely this faith is still very weak among you humans …. You only believe what your intellect approves, but you should also believe what your intellect does not grasp and, in order to be able to believe this, implore the grace of God, for without the grace of God you are not able to recognize the truth; therefore, whoever asks for divine grace will clearly recognize what is truth and what is a lie …. And since God promises His blessing to the one who spreads the truth that comes from above, he will never keep this exquisite gift of grace to himself but will try to share with his fellow human being what makes him immensely happy. And he will undauntedly endeavour to spread the divine word, even if it is occasionally and often rejected. For he will never abandon what he has recognized as truth, for he has the deepest faith in God’s working, for whom no thing is impossible ….

Amen

Anyone who resists the divine working forfeits an indescribable grace, for he rejects God Himself Who wants to impart His strength to the human being. The influx of divine strength is not felt by the body to the same extent as it is felt by the soul, indeed, the body is often even forced to renounce earthly pleasures and rebels against it, i.e, the soul is pushed towards the spiritual within itself by divine strength, while the body likewise demands its devotion to itself, and thus the human being is in a battle with himself, and now the will must not waver, the body must not gain supremacy, for it would mean the loss, the drying up of the flow of strength from God and endanger the soul extremely and bring about its spiritual standstill or decline. The human will cannot be forced, and therefore it must decide for itself; it must release the soul of its own accord, it must support its desire to make contact with the spiritual, but it must not let the body speak first …. He must not simultaneously flirt with the world and force the soul to participate in the desires of the body. The influx of spiritual strength can in turn only be consciously requested, and the desire for the world often prevents people from asking for spiritual good. And so the human being resists a gift from above, he does not receive it gratefully but only reluctantly, and this quiet resistance results in the divine source of strength drying up, and the human being is subsequently in a pitiable state …. he seeks worldly pleasures and does not find them. But he does not desire spiritual good, and therefore it cannot be offered to him. And even if life passes by without deep excitement, he finds no satisfaction in it, he sees nothing beautiful in it, because he is poor in spiritual good, but has already experienced its gracious effect. A person should sincerely and humbly request the strength from God, but every rejection is a resistance to this strength and therefore God withdraws it, resulting in emotional hardship but never in spiritual progress ….

Amen

One area that is still unexplored is the luminosity of the sun, which can be physically felt by every human being and is also visible to the human eye, but which is taken for granted and yet has not yet found an explanation that corresponds to the truth. No matter how thoroughly and precisely people investigate, they will never be able to solve this problem by virtue of their human intellect. For man is only able to fathom what is on earth and in its surroundings as far as it still belongs to the earth’s sphere. Beyond that, however, human enquiry is inadequate. Man starts from the laws of nature, which are probably the same everywhere on earth, but no longer govern all creations outside the earth. And so, for the first time, the basic conditions for researching unknown works of creation would not exist, consequently the results cannot be flawless either, for they are based on a false foundation. People, however, are convinced of the correctness of these results of human research, although on deeper reflection, if they are believers, they would have to come across contradictions. Either they are not deeply religious or they do not think …. And then the error cannot be explained to them either, and therefore a view is widespread among people which must be called downright wrong in comparison to the truth. The solar body, like every other celestial body, harbours living beings on its outer surface and is therefore animated. Consequently, this body cannot be a glowing mass that constantly sends its light to earth …. This idea is almost naïve, because a solid body that is constantly glowing loses its solidity and would therefore also lose its shape. It must also be taken into consideration that every glowing of a mass requires combustible basic material …. that there must therefore be some matter that is seized by the fire and consumed accordingly …. Everything that the sun harbours would therefore have to be earthly matter, i.e. a basic substance that could be destroyed by fire, by an element that is likewise of earthly origin. But if both the matter and the element cease to exist, there is no explanation for a luminous celestial body. However, everything that is outside the earth is never subject to the laws of nature that apply to the earth. The human mind only grasps that which can be earthly proven to it with likewise earthly laws of nature. But that there is much in God’s infinite creation for which the knowledge available to earthly people is truly insufficient will have to be recognized by every wise and believing person, for the earth is only a very tiny work of creation in comparison to infinity. And it is understandable that the inhabitants of this earth cannot be completely initiated into the processes and nature of every work of creation. Things which never exist on earth, for which no parallel can be found on earth, understandably elude man’s intellectual knowledge; he cannot reckon with laws of nature which he does not know, which are therefore unknown to him because the conditions for them are not given …. He is therefore also unable to imagine their effects and therefore cannot make any calculations, as they would lack any basis. Nevertheless, the human being can be given spiritual information about it, he just has to believe since nothing can be proven to him as long as he lives on earth. However, the worldly researchers cannot prove their results either, they likewise only have to be believed, and they are believed because the human intellect is not sufficient to recognize and reject fallacies. And an entire body of thought is built upon such a fallacy and now takes shape through established doctrines. People are presented with an earthly-worldly view, an assertion is made about a process which would be a very inadequate explanation for the emergence of light …. from the sun’s rays. And people now live in this false view and are satisfied with such an explanation. They thereby gain a false picture because the final goal of the human soul is completely unknown to them. Otherwise, however, they do not accept the enlightenment about the latter, again because everything is explained to them in earthly terms, i.e. as a natural consequence, as is the case with such erroneous teachings. If a person is a believer, he hesitates to accept human wisdom, even though he cannot give himself a better explanation. But the spirit within him warns him against accepting such human teachings. He then regards creation outside the earth as an unsolved riddle, and that is far better than forming closed opinions about it that completely contradict the truth. For a ‚questioner‘ can still be given the right explanation by spiritual knowing powers …. it is difficult to give an explanation that corresponds to the truth to someone who already believes that they know. And yet so much depends on the right realization of this ….

Amen

The process of radiating light can be compared to a continuing labour of love. This is not quite understandable insofar as the rays of light are visible, thus cannot be denied as something existing, even though it is not a work of creation requiring space …. that a labour of love, however, is an act which, as a product, would have to result in a new form. But light is to be regarded more as a process than as a form, for it is not tangible but perceptible. Nor would man be able to create a form from it, and this is again proof that light is a power from the supernatural kingdom, for everything that is earthly can be moulded into form, provided the human will is seriously active. But in order to somehow shape the rays of light a certain state of maturity of spiritual beings is required, to whom this is incumbent. These beings must be completely independent of the earth and its laws; they must have decided on an activity which presupposes deep love; they must be prepared to constantly give, and indeed want to give from a power which likewise flows to them themselves. This power emanates from God and is therefore spiritual substance that is luminous in itself because everything that is from God possesses an unimaginable luminosity. For God Himself is the light. Thus every ray of sunlight is firstly the power from God, which is transmitted to earth through countless beings who again fulfil their mission by acting as carriers of divine power. Secondly, however, the sun’s rays are proof of the tireless activity of these beings, they are in a sense a reservoir from which everything in creation is constantly fed. A process takes place here which is only then understandable when it is recognized that without this passing on of strength from God creation would have to perish, that it is therefore dependent on the activity of those beings whose task it is to constantly impart this strength, to pass it on to everything in need of God’s strength …. that it therefore requires a high degree of love in order to constantly give what these beings themselves receive …. This mission is therefore a labour of love of the perfect being for the still imperfect being, which is banished in creation and needs the supply of strength from God, which the spiritual being redeemed from the form receives in excess and, by virtue of its love for the unredeemed, always and constantly transmits to it …. This is the purely spiritual explanation for a process that is still unexplained in earthly terms ….

Amen

The natural law applicable to the universe …. is the indestructibility of everything in existence. Nothing can cease to exist instead, it can only ever change according to God’s will. And this change, in turn, happens in the way that something becomes invisible in order to appear in a visible state elsewhere again. This law is inherent in even the tiniest work of creation, so that the apparent disintegration merely signifies a transformation of that which existed previously. Consequently, even large works of creation, such as stars, can take on different shapes; nevertheless, this process occurs over an extremely long time span, over thousands of years according to earthly time, so that they can never be observed by people, as far as it concerns the fundamental change of a work of creation. Then the eruptions of individual works of creation are mainly the cause for shaping new creations from similar creations of smaller dimensions. These new creations exhibit the same characteristics and composition as the work of creation they emerged from. Thus, in the vicinity of a sun stars always exist whose same substances and natural laws demonstrate their affiliation with this very sun. From a worldly point of view, the sun therefore cannot be anything else but an infinitely enlarged formation of the same composition as its surrounding planets, since these are works of creations which emerged from it. As a result, all these stars should also be populated with the same beings. But this is where enormous differences become obvious. Not one work of creation harbours the same living organisms as another, and therefore the external structure of each star differs as well, and always in relation to its living inhabitants. And this, in turn, also excludes the same material composition …. Hence, only the core of each star is the basic substance, the external cover, however, corresponds to the living beings assigned to it. Everything that exists within the vicinity of a sun has emerged from this sun, that is, it was spewed out by it, but from the moment of its independence it assumed the properties which correspond to the living beings to which this work of creation shall serve as an abode. The infinitely varying degrees of maturity of the still imperfect spiritual beings also necessitate infinitely many creations of different structures, and herein lies the reason for the diversity of the stars.

Amen

In the great distance of all the heavenly bodies from each other and from the sun, which constantly feeds them with light and power, the explanation is to be sought for the low resistance which the individual creations put up to each other. As a result, no friction arises, and therefore it is also impossible that one of these creations could be or become light-giving. The fact that light is produced by friction is a law of nature that applies to all creations. The sun, on the other hand, is the mother star, it is the work of creation which has the task of being the giver of warmth and light for all those celestial bodies which originally belonged to the sun. Viewed with earthly eyes, the sun is a body of fire, i.e. people conclude from the light and heat power of the sun’s rays that these require a place of origin that is fire in itself. This view is erroneous insofar as there is no precondition for such a source of fire. The atmosphere that surrounds the sun is completely different from that of the earth, and this again triggers natural forces for which man has no understanding because he is unaware of their existence. These natural forces are therefore to a certain extent the originators of the light radiation, if the luminous process is to be explained in earthly terms. However, the result of worldly research does not agree with the truth insofar as man imagines earthly processes, effective to a greater extent, that he absolutely wants to give the light and the luminosity an origin, which he imagines earthly, but which is to be sought in natural forces and laws, about which men lack the knowledge, but which cannot be imparted to them in the state of maturity on earth either. All earthly conceivable preconditions are ruled out and any enlightenment about them is unacceptable to the human being until his spirit is allowed to gain insight into higher spheres …. Only then will it be possible to provide him with information. But as long as man dwells on earth, he is not receptive to this ….

Amen

The light of the spirit penetrates into all matter, i.e., the spiritual within matter is constantly influenced by the spiritual outside matter to do that which must lead to redemption. The spiritual outside of matter is therefore that which is controlled by God’s will or, better said, that which submits itself to divine will. It will therefore exert the influence as God determines. This spiritual is therefore in charge of the spiritual in matter, which is still in the beginning of its development, and it now carries out what the mature spiritual wants. This is the mandatory state which every being has to go through before it acquires its free will as a human being. But at the same time the mature spiritual being makes the still undeveloped being aware of its state of compulsion in the banished form and stimulates it to activity, because then the lightless stay in the solid form is torture for the being, and when a being of light breaks through this darkness and lets a glimmer of light reach the spiritual being in the form, the desire for light is awakened in the being, and then it also willingly carries out what is demanded of it, and so loosens the cover a little. The spirit can now enter into contact with the spiritual outside much more easily. Light is therefore both a means and an end …. To let light flow in means to let it become hungry for light; to long for light means fulfilment. For light is given to the desiring being. It is evident from this what love the eternal deity has for Its living creations that they can allow the will within themselves to become active, i.e., although they only carry out the divine will in form, it is nevertheless of great advantage for the being if its own will is already the same as the divine will as long as it is still in a state of compulsion. Such a being will cover the earth orbit much more successfully, it will be able to leave every form again after a short stay because it willingly carries out what means redemption for the being. However, the way in which the mature spiritual assists the banished spiritual is difficult to explain. These are spiritual currents which every work of creation must feel and which now bring the slumbering spiritual to awaken. Only the completely stubborn spiritual substance remains in its God-rejecting will, and therefore its external form is still very hard, so that even the love of the mature spiritual beings is unable to break the rigid mind, since the light only very rarely shines for the being which remains in resistance against God and therefore the rigid mind cannot be easily broken to its own sorrow, for due to its lack of light it does not recognize that there is help for the immature spiritual substance and therefore does not desire this help of its own accord either. For this reason it is often also violently shaken out of its stubbornness so that in a state of temporary freedom it now gets to know the advantage of a free state and then strives all the more eagerly for light, thus the spiritually mature forces now have access and can correspondingly successfully influence the banished spiritual substance, so that it now eagerly complies with what is demanded of it, and the hardness of the form around itself now begins to decrease considerably, now the liberation from these forms takes place relatively quickly and the spirit out of God has unhindered access to the spiritual, which is hiding in matter and languishes for redemption ….

Amen

In order to make the spiritual substance feel its banishment, it must become aware of both its own state of restraint as well as the freedom of will. It must experience the first as pain and regard the other as worth striving for, then it will always participate to release itself from the first state in order to attain freedom of will. So the beings of light must transmit the latter to works of creation whose spiritual substance still lingers in darkness. These must find the ray of light agreeable and constantly desire more. Hence, it must want to ascend to where there is an abundance of light. However, every emanation of light is the result of helpful activity, that is, in some form or other the activity of being of service must come first before emanations of light can happen on a regular basis. Although every external form is exposed to the emanation of light, yet the entirely hardened spirit turns away from it and takes an infinitely long time before it opens itself to the light, i.e., until it allows itself to be affected by it. But then the desire for it will burst through with elementary power. Then everything that previously was down below will push towards the surface and strive for light, and the spiritual substance desiring it will be released from its long captivity through eruptions and will continue its process of development in a different external form. And such a powerful eruption is approaching the Earth, whose bound spiritual beings long for liberation, for light and helpful activity. And the spiritual substance languishing down below in darkness especially strives upwards when the spiritual beings on earth fail to make use of the abundance of light it receives and effectively ignores it. Then the immature spiritual substances will seek to acquire this abundance of light and strive for it with elementary power, which manifests itself through natural disasters and creates fundamental changes with regards to spiritual currents. For then the spiritual substance, having reached the earth’s surface, will detect every spiritual current to a large extent and will therefore withdraw spiritual strength from already higher developed beings which disregard this strength and make no use of it, which often signifies these beings’ physical death on earth …. The immature spiritual substance avails itself of spiritual strength by considerably changing its external form, that is, by having provided access for the light. From then on this spiritual substance can continue its process of development on earth, thus freely strive towards the light, it only must use the strength at its disposal through helpful activity. However, once the longing for light has awakened in the spiritual substance, it will no longer resist being of service in some way or other, for it experiences this activity as a means of receiving more light and at the same time feels the loosening chain of its external form, and although the process of development now corresponds to the law of compulsion the being is nevertheless willing to take it, its own will, albeit inhibited, concurs with divine will.

Amen

Just a little while longer and you will see Me coming in the clouds, and you will cheer and rejoice and be happy that the Scripture has fulfilled itself. And the righteous will hear My voice sound delightful to them, but those who deny Me will be horror-struck and want to run away from Me. Yet the Judgment will catch up with them wherever it may be; for once the day has come which I specified as the Judgment everyone will be held to account and be incapable of escaping the Judgment. And My loyal followers will give thanks and sing My praises that I have revealed Myself to them, they will worship Me in spirit and in truth, and when they behold Me they will be imbued by profound love for Me and subsequently serve Me with most heartfelt dedication. For I will need willing and devoted servants after the time of the Judgment. I want to establish a community and give it a task; it is My will that people who recognise Me and proclaim My teaching shall unite and if they work together the community shall be powerful everywhere. But I want to exclude those who are intolerant and haughty, for they endanger the small group of My faithful servants. I want to be in their midst and thus sincere humility and love has to be inherent in people with whom I Am in loving harmony. And if I sit enthroned in the clouds I will lift up whoever so loves Me that their hearts long to meet Me. And I will take them to a place where no suffering and sorrow exist …. I will create a new home for them, I will shape the earth anew and prepare it to receive these faithful servants of Mine who henceforth will work for Me and in My will.

And then there will be a time of peace on earth, people will live in love; they will honour and love God and in truth will be My children, to whom I descend in order to feast with them. And I will join people together and bless their union, and a new, spiritually highly developed generation will come forth which will receive My Word from Me …. which will humbly bow down to Me and yet be united with Me in deepest love ….

Amen

To live in the divine order means to adapt oneself without resistance to the laws that God has given for all His works of creation. The inner voice must be obeyed, as it were, as to what it prescribes man to do, then man will also be in the divine order, i.e. respect and obey the divine will. And then he will also follow the path of higher development. Every work of creation apart from the human being is in divine order because it is in bound will, i.e. everything now has to do what is divine will and therefore corresponds to the laws which God gave from eternity. Only the human being is able to overturn these laws, i.e. to violate them, because his will is free and this can also be utilized in a way that contradicts the divine will, the divine order. However, such contravention of divine order has a damaging effect on his soul, as it jeopardizes, indeed often even disrupts, his higher development. For God, in His wisdom, has ordered everything in such a way that it cannot be arbitrarily changed by people without causing harm. Rather, living exactly according to the divine order is the only guarantee that man will progress on his way upwards. If he allows himself to be guided by the voice of the heart, he will never violate the divine order, for this is the silent guide and admonisher on his path through life, which speaks up where the human being threatens to deviate from the order willed by God. Man must by no means believe that God will change His laws if they appear impracticable to him, but man must do everything in his power to overcome the obstacles that stand in his way if he is willing to live in the divine order …. He must ask for the necessary strength to do so, as it is precisely in overcoming resistance that the ascent to the heights is guaranteed. Then he will remain in the divine order despite difficulties, he will thus live according to the divine will. Openly rebelling against this is an offence against the divine order and therefore a sin. And man has a very good ability to judge what can now be counted as sin, provided he only applies the standard of how far all his actions, his thoughts and his words are directed against the divine order. So what is wrong before God is sin …. If the divine will is disregarded and instead one’s own will becomes active in a way that goes against the divine will, then man violates the divine order and sins. Living in the divine order therefore means reaching the heights, whereas an offence against it inevitably means a step towards the depths, because sin distances man from God, i.e. leads him back to that which he has already escaped through living in the divine order in a bound will. In this respect the stage of free will is a danger for the being because it is no longer forced to live in the divine order but can also misuse its freedom of will and live against the divine order, which, however, causes it to take a step backwards in its higher development. But the will towards God protects the being from every action which goes against His will, and therefore the human being need not fear to offend against divine order as long as he desires God.

Amen

You should never be content just to fulfil your duty but should do more than that, you should voluntarily accept a task which people do not expect you to do but which you should do for love …. only then will you be lovingly active and only this effort will be valued and bring you blessings for eternity. People who dutifully carry out their earthly work believe themselves to have done enough. In that case their life is in fact a life of fulfilment of duty but nevertheless it is not a conscious service of love …. Whatever a duty demands to be done invariably corresponds to worldly objectives. Anything that has a refining influence on the soul will neither be demanded nor carried out as a duty but it always has to be done in absolute freedom of will, and this is why a soul’s progress can only be spoken of when the person works above and beyond his duty and will not stop such kind-hearted activity.

However, anything the human being accepts for himself or imposes on others as an obligation only has earthly value, since neighbourly love need not necessarily be the driving force of fulfilling a duty. There are, as a rule, human laws which intend to uphold worldly order, the fulfilment of which are therefore effectively necessary in order to combat people’s weak will, for many people would not carry out what they are duty-bound to do if a sense of duty had not been cultivated in them. Everything they do is thus somehow or other conditional and results in some kind of earthly benefit. An earthly way of life which only shows an endless string of deeds, all of which fit into the category of fulfilment of duty, by no means have to result in a psychological state of maturity, for precisely this fulfilment of duty prevents people from being truly lovingly active.

Although the fulfilment of duty cannot be portrayed to people as wrong or unnecessary, it nevertheless poses a certain danger for the human being’s soul, for the more he uses it as a guiding principle of human life, the more significance he attaches to precisely this duty and the more he believes himself to be exempt from true activities of love, for he deems his time sufficiently used and yet spiritually he stays behind if he fails to love, i.e., despite being fully occupied by duties, he is not urged by love to do ‘more’ …. to help his fellow human beings both spiritually and physically with deeds which are never demanded by people and therefore love can never become a duty either. Fulfilment of duty on its own certainly ought to be recognised in an earthly way but it is of no importance for eternity, thus the human being must do his utmost and try to be helpful of his own free will. He should not be content with fulfilling his duty but of his own accord do ‘more’ …. he should give and help with love, so that his soul will find salvation, which only ever benefits from what the human being does of his own free will and in selfless neighbourly love ….

Amen

Divine love and mercy descends to the deepest depths in order to bring redemption to the souls that are accessible to God’s love and mercy. All spiritual beings in the lower regions can reach the heights if they do not resist when the ray of light from above reaches them. Souls who have suffered the deepest hardship and torment for ages experience this ray of light as a lightning-like blessing, and this moment can awaken in them the desire for such a permanent state of well-being. A brief introspection can make the soul receptive to the influence of beings of light who are concerned about it, and once this has been achieved the soul is wrested from the darkness, for once such thoughts have been grasped they no longer leave the souls, even though the struggle of such souls is unspeakably difficult. These souls wrested from the darkness find each other and give each other courage and hope, thus also helping each other to ascend. They are, however, also tremendously oppressed by the dark power, but precisely this spurs them on to come out of their realm, and they strive towards every glimmer of light in order to escape this power. But the desire for light also allows them to receive help, and thus they are not helplessly at the mercy of the dark power if only the desire for light has awakened in them. Often, however, God’s love and mercy is completely rejected, then the spirits of the underworld rejoice and let out their satanic power on each other. They inflict every conceivable evil on each other and thus fall ever deeper, that is, the distance from God becomes ever greater, and then there is hardly any hope of salvation for such souls, for if no improvement is achieved through the most inconceivable torments this satanic spirit has to be bound anew because it does not prove itself worthy of its freedom, because it has abused it again and resists God once more ….

If the soul knew about the unspeakable suffering and torments which the spell in the fixed form will again inflict on it through immemorial times it would do everything to change before it is too late, for these torments are too unbearable even for the most hardened souls and again the only means to force them into obedience; yet since all compulsion is eliminated they have to take the torments upon themselves, for every concession by God was rejected. Time and again it is the being’s free will which determines them to reject, and therefore this will has to be chained again so that its resistance against God is put an end to. It is the most dreadful thing that can happen to the being if it has to take the same path on earth again through centuries of millennia, if it has to go through the same thing again which already seemed unbearable to it during its first earthly progress …. And yet he cannot be spared it because his own will has striven for it and all conceivable means of help were in vain. It is the night of death that imprisons such beings for endless times …. impenetrable darkness, extremely burdensome shackles and a state of complete powerlessness, an eternal wait for liberation. This agonizing state lasts until the being decides to give up its rebelliousness against God; only then does the process of development upwards begin again, for God’s love will not let any being fall, only that the being often prolongs its agonizing earthly state itself through its rebelliousness. And the lord of heaven and earth would like to shorten this infinitely long agony or free the being from it completely, and therefore He tries in every possible way to snatch His living creations from this dreadful fate, and therefore God’s goodness and love is always ready and admits it, that countless mature beings take care of the earthly children and bring them physical and spiritual help, and if this has been of no use on earth the beings of light still pursue such hardened people into the beyond and there try to soften and subdue the beings’ will and awaken the desire for light in them. However, if they themselves head towards darkness by virtue of their free will, they determine their own fate. God wants to and can give people everything, but not a happy life in the hereafter in all its glory without their will …. He must let this will become active himself, otherwise he does not respect the will and it must now be completely taken away from him again for eternal times ….

Amen

It is a holy desire to be united with the divine lord and saviour. There is truly nothing that equals it; there is no more blissful state of happiness than union with Him, and this union should therefore also be the epitome of every desire. What belongs to the earth should be joyfully given away and the most blissful exchanged for it; man should willingly take upon himself all the suffering of the earth and always think only of the sweetest reward …. the union with God, which outweighs all suffering and all torment …. which ends all hardship and this earthly tribulation. This union is something so unimaginably blissful that everything difficult before seems small in comparison and …. if man knew about it …. he would patiently accept much more suffering in order to be honoured with this heavenly grace. And yet every human being should endeavour to bring about union with God even without this knowledge. Love for Him and for his neighbour should place him in that state which is the precondition for the highest happiness …. For he then likewise shapes himself into love, and he must then inevitably come closer to eternal love, the beingness in him must merge with the original power, and thus he must again be where he once was …. in God …. A union with the highest entity must now also earn him everything that is a divine part …. light and power …. And this means eternal glory, happiness and peace. For to stand in the light means to know everything, to have escaped the darkness and henceforth to be allowed to be redemptively active for one’s own happiness. And to be allowed to participate in divine power means to be able to shape and create like Him, to be able to give and distribute, to act and think in accordance with divine will and thus to lead a life that fulfils all wishes, for union with God is the ultimate goal of every being. And people can already achieve this blissful state on earth if they mould themselves into love. They can still receive this inconceivable grace at the time of their earthly life by hearing the resounding word in their heart …. To constantly make the divine will on earth the guiding principle and to always only endeavour to come closer to Him lets the heart become love, but the loving human being cannot help but give love, therefore God also gives to him, namely Himself in the word …. And when the earthly child is able to hear the divine voice resounding in the heart, the union with God has taken place and can no longer be disturbed eternally. For what God has seized with His love He will never let go of Himself, and therefore the human being cannot help but commit himself with his life to his divine lord and saviour, to His name and His teaching …. He will confess Him before all the world and bear witness to it of divine strength, for this flows so obviously into such a person that he can prove to the world the power and strength of the right faith, which he now represents to people who seek his life …. For he does not fear the death of the body, for he has found eternal life through union with the lord ….

Amen

The most unmistakable proof of union with God is the resounding word. It is like heavenly music that sounds in the heart …. it is an incomparably beautiful state that triggers bliss in the human being, and it is the feeling of sweetest togetherness, for the human being senses the closeness of the lord. And nothing on earth can equal this blissful state, nothing else can give such bliss as the closeness of the divine lord and saviour. And yet only a few people are in such a state of love that they are worthy of the resounding word. God Himself offers the most marvellous things to man on earth, but only a few desire this exquisite gift, which can turn life on earth into a paradise. Only a few give their hearts completely to the saviour and desire nothing more of the world. Only a few are absorbed in love for their neighbour and share everything they possess with him …. few give everything in order to be able to receive everything again …. The more willing the earthly child is and the less it resists divine activity, the sooner it will be able to hear the voice of God within itself, for the subtlest spiritual vibrations must be heeded and the heart must long for God with all its intimacy. Man should only strive for this on earth, for once he has achieved this he is immune to all temptations of evil …. He demands nothing more from life than only divine love, which expresses itself audibly. All desires are silent when the lord Himself speaks in the human being’s heart, and then He instructs the earthly child, and when the latter hears His voice audibly, all doubt falls silent …. But such an intimate connection can only be established in the deepest faith, for if a person does not believe that nothing is impossible with God, he will not listen into himself so persistently in order to hear the divine voice. And even if the knowledge of this is imparted to people, their faith is too small for them to make every effort to prove themselves worthy of such a gift. The resounding word brings an indescribable blessing to the human being, for through it he noticeably progresses upwards. By listening to the word the human being receives unimaginable strength and grace, and the intimate connection brings him an indescribable spiritual advantage, for being united with the lord already on earth requires a degree of maturity which, upon his earthly demise, will earn the human being entry into the spheres of light where he may behold God face to face ….

It is a significant hour when the human being becomes aware of eternity and immortality, for now his struggle on earth is no longer futile but he realizes that it has its reason. And now he will also no longer rebel against his fate, he will harmonize it with God’s wisdom and love and thus already submit himself devotedly to divine will. God’s guidance will become increasingly clear to him and thus his trust in God will become childlike and unshakeable. And from this hour onwards he lives his life consciously, i.e. he endeavours to let every event affect him in such a way that it is beneficial to his soul and seeks strength to resist the hostility of the God-opposing power in the divine word, which is now also imparted to him through the love of the heavenly father. For without the word of God, man is not able …. although he recognizes …. to overcome all resistance that opposes him. The word of God provides him with the grace that is absolutely necessary in order to reach the goal, which is the purpose of life on earth. The word of God tells man how he should organize his way of life in order to partake of divine grace. One thing must therefore be received so that man prays, i.e. he gets in touch with God in order to request divine grace, for it cannot be supplied to him unasked. But the word of God must first impart the knowledge of it to him, he must allow God to speak to him, yet he is completely free to decide how and where he receives the divine word. He can do so by way of the proper divine service, i.e. he can be taught about the divine will by people who offer themselves to God for service; he can also receive the word of God through the holy scriptures if he asks God for enlightenment for what seems incomprehensible to him …. But he can also receive the word of God directly from Him if he allows himself to be mentally instructed by God’s servants in the beyond. And this happens through mental deepening and connecting with God …. If a person tries to get in touch with the eternal deity more often by asking all questions to Him in the most childlike trust that they will be answered, he will be mentally instructed in the most marvellous and detailed way. And receiving the word of God in this form is truly the best, for then the word is alive in the person, it penetrates his heart, it does not merely pass by as an empty sound in his ear. For anyone who wants enlightenment from God Himself is also serious about it, and he will think through every answer and then keep it as spiritual property and now also be flooded with strength and grace in order to be able to live his earthly life in accordance with God’s will ….

Amen

There is only one path that leads to eternal life and to union with God …. the path via Jesus Christ, and anyone who rejects Christ will never be able to enter through the gates of heaven to eternal bliss. Man must walk the same path that Jesus walked on earth, the path of love and suffering, for only through love can he redeem himself and reduce the guilt of sin through suffering. And in order to be able to do this, the graces acquired through Jesus’ death on the cross must be imparted to him, which he in turn can only receive if he recognizes Jesus Christ as redeemer and son of God. He must have faith in the divine saviour …. he must believe that God Himself sent Him to earth in order to be able to take up residence in Him in all fullness …. he must believe that divine love itself has descended to people, and only then does he prove his faith in God when he recognizes the act of salvation as an act of the greatest love for people and wants to share in the blessing of the act of salvation. Jesus says: “No one comes to the father except through Me ….” Jesus does not speak these words as a human being, but they are to be understood spiritually. He Himself was pure love, and therefore man must mould himself into love in order to be united with the father, Who is love Himself. But if the human being is in love, then he will also recognize that Jesus Christ is also the epitome of the eternal deity. He will no longer be able to separate Christ from God, and thus love will be the only way to reach God. However, if a person does not recognize Christ, he can never think correctly. And even if he wants to affirm God, this is not a deep faith that separates God and Christ. He has a false concept of the eternal deity. Christian doctrine prescribes the two most important commandments: You shall love God above all things and your neighbour as yourself. In order to fulfil this commandment, He Himself must be love, and thus He must walk the same path that Jesus walked on earth; He must distribute love on all His paths through life, and since God is love Himself, He draws the eternal deity to Himself through every work of love, thus He unites Himself with It, and the same thing then takes place that caused Jesus to say: “The father and I are (‚are‘ was overwritten by ‚is‘ ed.) one ….” He likewise united Himself with God through His greater than great love, so that He could utter these words with full justification, for His being was completely permeated by the divine spirit, thus the father was …. the eternal deity …. in the son, in that which had emanated from Him, and could no longer be eternally separated from each other. And this merging with the elemental force will always be the result of intimate love for God and for people, thus love is the path that leads to God. The work of redemption was the greatest work of love by a human being for the whole of humanity. Anyone who does not recognize this must be devoid of all love, otherwise he would want to recognize the connection most clearly and all doubt about the divinity of Jesus would disappear. Without love, however, the path to ascent can never be travelled, for then the human being does not follow Jesus; he does not belong to those who were redeemed by His death on the cross and is therefore lost for eternity ….

Amen
