For your birthday
13th October 1842
[1] Write something to A.H.-W. for today, which is to serve him there for the knowledge that the Father in heaven knows very well when and on which day a man was born into the world according to the body of flesh.
[2] Listen, My dear A.H.-W.! It is indeed nothing trivial when a man is born from his mother's womb into the world. For what belongs to it, until a soul of man from all stages matures into a birth into the world, believe Me, is indeed more than you will be able to grasp in eternities! That the becoming of a man is not such a trifle thing for Me as some philosophical fools let themselves dream, is proved by all the deeds and all the pre-creations, which was all accomplished and made only for man!
[3] But according to this it is then also fair and just that even the bodily birthday must be an important day for every human, since it is not an accidental day, but a day well calculated already from eternity. But why and how such a day is a more well-calculated one since eternities – shall be shown at once! And so then listen:
[4] In the endlessly deep space of time and eternity, according to the numbers 3 and 7, in the most endless abundance of numbers, spirits similar to Me were called forth out of Me into free existence. A great number have separated from Me through by abusing their freedom; but also a great number have united with Me forever. What then should become of the separated number? Was it to perish forever, or was it to be led back, possible only for Me?
[5] Behold, this was not such a small question even for Me, the Almighty and most endlessly wise Creator! For if I let them perish, death is at home in Me, too. But if I lead them back, then the untouchable holiness of My most primeval order is endangered. What was and is therefore to be done?
[6] Behold, the solution of these great questions is now still before your eyes, and even many eternities will not be able to cope with it!
[7] But what did it consist of, does it still exist now, and will it exist forever? Love, as the sole life in God, had to separate in a certain way, seize the separated innumerable spirits, bind them with their power, and out of them form innumerable world-masses of all endless kinds according to the nature of the spirits that were caught in them.
[8] Now when the worlds were formed from the original central suns downwards, each world-atom was first calculated exactly to the thousandth part of a second, when it should be dissolved. And once the great reckoning had been determined, only then did the organic creations on the bodies of the world begin through all stages in the very highest, wisest, well-calculated order. And only after that, finally man came, as the most perfect receiving organ of all the endless stages preceding him, and as a perfect reunion point of the life that once went forth out of Me!
[9] But so that there may be no disorder in this reorganization of the old beings at God's side against Himself, God had to reorganize Himself in a certain way through My incarnation, build a new heaven afterwards, and finally make that there, everything becomes new, like Him!
[10] Now see, all this is behind a single birthday!
[11] So pay attention to what it contains in itself, so that through it, you will soon have a new great birthday in your mind!
[12] So take this revelation to heart as a congratulation on this your birthday, from Me, your most loving Father, so you will have great joy on each of your birthdays here and beyond. For also
beyond, in a corresponding form, such days appear more glorious than the others, for him whom they concern! But with it also accept My full Fatherly blessing and remain in My love eternally! Amen.
