Man and Creation (2) (September 17, 1871)

01] If you look carefully at the human form and consider that the form of man is the last thing in all creation, after which everything struggles, to which everything strives, and the form which I have described as "My image", then you must nevertheless think to yourselves that this form and also the inner organization of the human structure is based on a great spiritual basic idea, which is the type and the ultimate goal of all created things; you must have noticed often in lonely hours many a thought aimed at deciphering this very riddle and its "why".

02] Now I want to reveal to you again a little piece of My Wisdom so that a new impulse will come into you and you will get to know from another side your Father as Creator and Supreme Being. I do this so that there will be no slackness in your progression and that you may lean your heart more towards the spiritual than towards the worldly!

03] See, My children, I have often told you: Everything that was created has a spiritual, higher purpose! Now I still have to add to it incidentally that among all possible forms and organisms a spiritual truth, a spiritual idea is hidden, which can only be this way and no other, because as the highest spiritual being I only have high spiritual truths and ideas and can only put these into everything created as God! Because if it would not be so, then I would not be a God, not a supreme being, and perhaps attainable, perhaps even surpassed by some great angelic spirit.

04] For this reason all created things and beings which exist in the whole material and spiritual creation are only an expression of My supreme wisdom, and much paper would have to be dedicated if I wanted to explain to you only the smallest thing in its material and spiritual importance because even though many people on your earth are engaged in research in all areas of science, there is not one of them who could justly and conclusively explain a single "why" in a fair and concise manner.

05] Just like the case with the smallest atom in the large ether, that is also everywhere. Everywhere My wisdom, My basic thought of creation is concealed, and everywhere, if your scholars wish to ask: "But why so and not otherwise? no other answer than: "Because that's the way it has to be!"

06] It goes without saying that this answer can suffice for a few, but they have to be content with that, since nothing else can be found out.

07] How often do I go against their mathematical, mechanical or chemical laws, and what comes out in the end everywhere? That their teachings, as they are often cleverly conceived, are only products of common sense and not of a higher being, of a divine Creator.

08] I created people in a limited way, with restrictions from which they cannot get out on a worldly intellectual path, but only go around in a circle where they have to start from the inexplicable, have to return again to the inexplicable, and the Egyptian divine teachings of Isis or goddess of wisdom always remain true where it was said:

09]"No mortal can lift the veil of truth and live on!"

10] The Egyptians knew well what they wanted to say with these words; only the present scholars do not understand it, because the Egyptians were too close to the truth to have not known enough that with the speculative spirit of reason it is not even possible to get far, and that, if one wants to penetrate further, one has to deepen oneself with the heart into creation, there one first has to find out the spiritual spark, similar to the same one that I put in every human being, in order to then get a slight idea of what cannot be a concept, but only a matter of feeling!

11] He who has arrived there, who knows how to awaken his divine indwelling spirit and unite it with his soul, for him there is no longer a secret, he sees creation transparent like a glass filled with water; He sees the spiritual work, easily recognizes the simple but great laws that created everything, preserves everything, and drives everything to higher levels; he recognizes My Love in My works, he suspects My greatness; and even if at every glance a thousand "why" rise, one look at Me gives him all the bliss of a child who experiences there that all these miracles, all these worlds have been brought into being just for him, the little weak image of his great, supreme Father and Creator!

12] So then the born again, spiritual man understands his Father and himself and sinks before Him in devotion and worship, who, wrapped in dust and earth, lent His divine spark to contemplate and comprehend all the wonders, which was created only for this highest and last idea, the association of all others, the human form and human spiritual and material organization was created

13] So that at least you can see with a vague notion what your body and its furnishings contain, so that you can only see what this body contains in brief excerpts, whom you drag around for such a short lifetime, that covers your intellectual and spiritual garments, and which body you so often abuse, I again want to give you another spiritual insight of My scribe so that in this image you may again recognize My and your goal; so listen:

14] The human body as you see it before you, with its millions and millions of diversities in the individual, is the imprint of My only and highest idea of creation, is the image of My spiritual self! For even all spirits up to the greatest and nearest to Me, they all have this human form; but the formation of this form, its beauty, is still so vast and sublime that you cannot even form an idea of the next spiritual beings above you, let alone those figures, where the external form is the highest expression of the inner, spiritually sublime.

15] This human form, which, as you know, even expresses the material world as the last type, as a great cosmic man, in which Myriads of suns move - this form, in which all spiritual heavens are again closed into a whole, this form everywhere has the same spiritual meaning, its individual parts the same, corresponding to the spiritual formations and functions. - And anywhere you want to start, you would see that only one basic idea and one basic principle of My Supreme Wisdom shines through simply and clearly, since with small means the greatest purposes are achieved.

16] See how all shell globes surround a denser atmosphere and thus place the whole material world as an isolated whole in the infinite etheric space, where this great cosmic man constantly receives new life on a path to be traversed and communicates the same to his inner parts - just as the skin is with all created, living and non-living beings which separates them from the whole as standing alone and thus prevents their dissolution into the great material world.

17] Under the cerebral shell, which arches in a semi-spherical or more elliptical shape over the seat of human spiritual life, under this shell, as the hardest bone structure, lives and weaves the most delicate organ, the brain with its mental functions.

18] The fact that the shell is hemispherical or domed indicates that as a hemisphere it has internally a center from which it is formed, or as an ellipse it actually has two focal points, one in the forebrain and the other in the hind brain.

19] In the forebrain, the seat of intelligence, the external life communicates with the internal life, so that its spiritual windows, the eyes and ears, convey to it the impressions of the external world, while in the lower part of the head the speech apparatus communicates the inner impressions of the external world.

20] The hind brain, as the worldly focal point, provides the functions of material existence, drives the apparatus to form the body, to maintain and reproduce it.

21] What the forebrain is in humans and also in animals, in the universe there are large outer spaces which also have the same functions as here on a small scale.

22] The tools of breathing, like the nose and mouth in the head, are respiratory channels, partly for connecting the outside world with the inner organism, partly also, especially the mouth, means, in addition to worldly preservation, which is even more important, promoting spiritual matter - by word, by sound, to confirm that a material shell surrounds an even far more spiritual one, which with its formation also contributes to the perfection of the spiritual.

23] As for the lungs, the heart, the latter as the general driving force of the whole apparatus, the stomach, the liver and the spleen, their functions are all expressed spiritually.

24] First, the lung - place of reception of the substance of life flowing into it from outside, as in spiritual man the spiritual truth; The lung is also the place where material consumption is changed by spiritual phenomena, in spiritual man the place of separation between tamed passions and newly acquired virtues.

25] The heart as the universal, sole principle of life, the eternal untiring mover or motor, which always gives something new to all parts, gladly takes over the old, carries on further - this heart, considered spiritually, is also the seat of eternal spiritual activity, the seat of eternal spiritual energy, which always drives man (the spiritual) to continue to excrete what is bad in him and to replace it with something better. This heart as the only point of life, is the hearth and seat of the soul and of the spirit put into it by me. In its shape, broad above (vessel-like) and tapering below, it means that human life should begin on a broad basis and work towards a goal in a pointed or pointed form!

26] The liver, as a separating apparatus of the bilious parts of the blood, which have become useless in it, but which are necessary in the nutritional process as stimulants of digestion and separation into the primitive elements, resembles in spiritual man the human course of life, where bitterness is also excreted, but is necessary for the preservation and correct assessment of the way of life; for without bitter experiences there would be no spiritual elevation, without bitterness, there would be no joyful, blissful expansion or extension of human emotions, far beyond the limits of material life.

27] As for the stomach is concerned, the sustainer of material life, the place of reception of such diverse products, in order to then find out from them what is necessary for the body, it corresponds spiritually to the circle of deeds and impressions of the external world on the human mind or its soul.

28] As food mixes in the stomach, then in the further course of digestion, but in other compounds than how they were created in the stomach, they separate again, just as the life of deeds and the impressions from outside are the material from which the soul builds up its spiritual shell. It also absorbs everything that penetrates it from the outside. It then excretes, purifies the rest with bitter experiences, and always struggling and separating the good from the bad, it retains the permanent, never decaying and, as in the intestines, in the end excretes the superfluous, no longer belonging to life.

29] The spleen, this hearth of fire and reviver of blood (through electricity), which like an electric battery impregnates the blood with new warmth and thus helps to spread life and contributes most, for without heat there is no life; in the spiritual man this is love, the all- encompassing love, which gives the spiritual man spiritual warmth or the spiritual life; for where there is no love, there is no warmth, where there is no warmth - no life!

30] In this way, all other organs and their functions spiritually correspond to the same spiritual needs of man without a physical shell.

31] The organs, their forms and their devices are always only the repetitions of one and the same form, the egg or ellipse form, and one and the same force, the attractive or repulsive; which taken spiritually is also in Myself love as an attracting force and wisdom as a modifying (shaping, transforming) factor thereof. In this elliptical form I am also a focal point, around which everything moves and to which everything wants to flee, if it were not for the other focal point, the matter, which withdraws again from me, which binds again what is released, in order to then return it in a new, higher form.

32] From these three factors: oval form, magnetism and electricity, the whole universe is composed, all organic and inorganic beings exist, all the forms and inner mechanisms of them exist, the great cosmic man, the even greater celestial man, and My angelic spirits exist; all are imprints, as you are in human form, of these spiritual forms, paired with love and wisdom.

33] All individual parts of your body, from the bone structure to the last globule, are partly ellipses, the spiritual expression of My central being as the sole ruling and reigning God, just as the same system is followed in the world orbits; also there every central sun stands in a focal point as spiritual center, around which the other worlds and earth must revolve.

34] I am the central point of all spiritual and material creation - you are the central point of everything created, everything advances towards you, everything strives for your form, everything is promoted in stages.

35] Just as you as human beings, as the last creations of the material world, express My will, My laws and your high destiny, which you are to follow, so I stand as the central point of all spiritual things - also everything advances towards me, everything longs for me, and to reach Me everything goes its planned course. This is the reason for eternal progress. "Upward!" and "Forward!" is the call that resounds through all the vast spaces of creation.

36] With difficulty he smallest infusion animal struggles its way up to a higher class; millions of them are the basis of a higher being; the senses, which place man above all created beings, are still hidden there, only one or the other is formed step by step. So it goes up and forward, in matter what is bound frees itself, binds itself under new conditions to new forms, and so it goes on and on; to the highest of material creation - everything advances to man, everything seeks to reach him. Even though they have reached the last stage of animal intelligence, a wide, insurmountable gap separates the last animal from the first human. It is the same gap as from the last angelic spirit to Me: an approach is possible, but no attainment. Just as the animal, together with many other souls from the animal kingdom, can only contribute to the material construction of the human body and thus identify (equate) its self with that of man on this long path, so it is also with the angelic spirits and nearest beings in My proximity, they too can only take the highest levels in My created spirit world, approaching the nearest to Me; but with Me (absolutely) they do not become one; which actually (also) has nothing to do with it for a Supreme Spirit already enjoys such a satisfying bliss as no other neither demands nor could endure!

37] Thus, My children, learn to understand how the spiritual is everywhere the main reason and principle of all that is created. In all forms the same thought of My omnipotence is concealed in love; everywhere the same law applies, which forms your bones, gives you a lovely appearance, or holds all worlds together. Do not ask for the "why", it cannot be explained for the created. See your eye in which the whole material world is reflected, with which you receive knowledge of the creations of My love, be it in your immediate vicinity, be it of worlds whose ray of light strikes your eye only after thousands of years!

38] See, if you wanted to ask, but why then a transparent one, why a watery moisture, why a crystal lens, why the black net, why the iris, why all these substances and bodies, and these again composed of other small atoms - there, My children, I can only tell you because it had to be like this and not different. To understand the "why" in My sense, you would have to be like gods, endowed with the same wisdom and energy as I Myself!

39] Therefore rejoice in the fact that I have given you organs so that you can admire My creations and hear their harmonies; content yourselves with what a loving Father has given to His children so that through His works they may love, appreciate and understand him; no created being can lift the veil of the divine truth of creation. Leave it untouched and think that a father also only says as much to his children and teaches them as is appropriate to their understanding.

40] If I wanted to explain a little thing to you exhaustively, what do you think the end result would be? Behold, I will tell you in a few words:

41] I would divide a small thing for your eyes into even smaller things, these small parts would be divisible again, with each division other forms, other substances would show themselves, into infinity always changing, dividing, but never have an end!

42] Now if you wanted to ask with every division - why? with every change - why? what would come out of it? Behold, in the end it would come out that you would ask Me to stop explaining, fragmenting; for the second, third change or division would already go far beyond your comprehension!

43] Therefore, let God be what God is! and abide with what a man, and later a spirit, can grasp, that is: abide in love with Me! as a created being can love Me; your love for Me is like finiteness to infinity. love Me! prove it in your actions! and you will then be able to sense with your heart what your mind can never grasp.

44] Thus the form of man judges its spiritual counterparts, and you will find that everywhere only My father's hand lovingly designed everything in such a way that you can find the way to Me and I, through your love, can again pay back to a rich degree what you as My children sacrifice to Me during your course of life.

45] If you are with Me, if you understand the spirit language in form and word, then the harmony in everything will be easily understandable to you, and then a childlike mind in looking up to Me will suspect and know more than a learned worldly wise man who filled his head with sciences for years and thereby left his heart empty.

46] It is obvious that a spiritual idea, coming only from a spirit like me, must lie in all created things; but that this spiritual idea cannot always be understood by lower spirits than I am Myself is also natural. On your Earth do you think the consequence (consistency) to be a main characteristic of the human spirit; who then has put this idea in you? Behold, it was the consequence of My creation that led you to it. If you want to be consistent and persistent in carrying out a plan, why should it not be Me who was before one being was ever created, and who will be when all material covering has ceased and only spiritual, like me, will continue to exist.

47] Therefore seek in spiritual ways to foresee what is concealed in the material, and you will always find that a God who created such is and can be only a God of love, who of course also brought His created beings into life for the sole reason that they all give back to Him what He only formed for them alone.

48] Thus My scribe saw the intimate union of the great creation with the form of a man, so that all inner parts were brightly illuminated and understandable to him; he was amazed at what he saw, his heart filled with love towards me, love enlightened him more and more; the forms appeared clearer and brighter, he recognized more and more the wise facilities of his own self; he recognized the gentle bond that connects the spiritual and material worlds, recognized My love and grace that made him sense and feel it. Now that it is written what he enjoyed in that hour, it is up to you: Get up from the mud of the world! shake the dust of self-interest from your feet! raise your eyes upwards so that such an hour of bliss and peace may also be granted to you! This is My purpose, which is why I give you this hour experienced by My scribe as common knowledge; seek to love Me as I actually want and certainly deserve it; then you also will enjoy in My spiritual realm what the worldly cannot give you.

49] This is what your Father calls to you, who has already given so much to you and is inclined to give even more; it is enough that you only want to take it seriously and not superficially revel in delight, but actively take it up into your practical life; this is My advice, the observance is with you, for which you should not lack My help and support! Amen.
